Instead, Nicholas Roe reveals the real flesh-and-blood poet: a passionate man driven by ambition but prey to doubt, suspicion, and jealousy; sure of his vocation while bitterly resentful of the obstacles that blighted his career; devoured by sexual desire and frustration; and in thrall to alcohol and opium. Through unparalleled original research, Roe arrives at a fascinating reassessment of Keats's entire life, from his early years at Keats's Livery Stables through his harrowing battle with tuberculosis and death at age 25. Zeroing in on crucial turning points, Roe finds in the locations of Keats's poems new keys to the nature of his imaginative quest. 520 $a Offers a biography of the nineteenth century poet, offering insights into the details of his early life in London, the torments that affected him, and the imaginative sources of his works. 600 10 $a Keats, John, $d 1795-1821. 650 0 $a Poets, English $y 19th century $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917013344.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4153227C3E3011E4861469EFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
