John Keats
John Keats (1795-1821) is one of the greatest English poets and a key figure in the Romantic movement. He grew up in London and undertook medical training before finding his vocation in poetry. His poems include ‘The Eve of St Agnes’, ‘La Belle Dame Sans Merci’ and ‘To Autumn’, and his group of five odes, which include ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, are ranked among the greatest short poems in the English language. They were written shortly before his tragically early death, in Rome, from tuberculosis at the age of twenty-five.
