    Short Biography of John Keats.

    John Keats was not only the last but also the most perfect of the romantic
    poets. Keats lived apart from men and from all political measures worshipping
    beauty like a devotee, perfectly content to write what was in his own heart or to
    reflect some Splendor of the natural world as he saw or dreamed it to be. He had
    more over the novel Idea that poetry exist for its own sake and suffers loss by being
    devoted to philosophy or politics or indeed, to any cause however great or small.

    All his work was published in a three short years from 1817 to 1820 and that
    he died when only 25 years old. We must judge him to be the most promising figure
    of the early 19th century and one of the most remarkable in the history of literature.

    Early Life:

    John Keats was born on October 31, 1795, London, England. A


    English Romantic lyric poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry
    marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a
    philosophy through classical legend.

    The son of a livery-stable manager, John Keats received relatively little


    formal education. Before he was 15 years of age his both parents died. John
    attended a school at Enfield, two miles away, that was run by John Clarke. John
    entered into a close friendship with the master’s son John Cowden Clarke who did
    much to encourage Keats’s literary aspirations. At school Keats was noted as
    an aggressive lad and was decidedly “not literary,” but in 1809 he began to read
    voraciously. At Keats’ Guardian Richard Abbey’s instigation John Keats was
    apprenticed to a surgeon at Edmonton in 1811. He broke off his apprenticeship in
    1814 and went to live in London, where he worked as a dresser, or junior house
    surgeon, at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ hospitals. His literary interests had crystallized
    by this time, and after 1817 he devoted himself entirely to poetry. From then until
    his early death, the story of his life is largely the story of the poetry he wrote. He
    died on 23rd February, 1821, Rome, Papal States Italy.
