Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley When we read a play or a story poem we do not usually concern ourselves about the writer unless he is an actor in his own story. But when we read a lyric (i.e. a song poem), or an ode or elegy we usually gain more or less insight into the mind and emotions of the poet. It matters little that we know only a few facts about Shakespeare, but we want to know as much as possible about Keats and Shelley and the times in which they lived, for these two poets write very largely about themselves. John Keats John Keats was born in 1795, his father being manager of a livery stable at "The Swan and Hoop, " Finsbury Pavement, London. The father has been described as a man of "common sense and native respectability, " was said to be a West-Countryman and was killed by a fall from his horse when John, the eldest of a family of five, was about nine years old. The mother, "tall, vivacious, talented, and pleasure-loving, resembled John in the face and apparently favoured him and was passionately loved by him." She survived her husband only six years and the orphans were put under the care of guardians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
