Summary
As the youngest and the first to die (of tuberculosis) of the second generation of English Romantics, Keats to many readers has seemed the quintessential Romantic poet. He is probably also the most loved, not only for his handful of great poems but also for his great promise cut short. In his few productive years he wrote sonnets, odes, ballads, a play (jointly written), and narrative poems, including a four-book epic, Endymion.
