    About this ebook

    “Whose Name was Writ in Water” contains a fantastic collection of poetry by various authors written in dedication to English Romantic poet John Keats (1795–1821). Together with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was a key figure during the second generation of Romantic poets most famous for such poems as "Sleep and Poetry", “Ode to a Nightingale", and "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer". Keats died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis, only four years after the first publication of his works. Despite not being praised by critics during his short life, Keats has since become one of the most celebrated English poets to have ever lived. Contents include: "Adonais, by Percy Bysshe Shelley”, “Keats, by Frances A. Fuller”, “The Poet Keats”, “Keats, by Richard Watson Gilder”, “For the Anniversary of John Keats's Death, by Sara Teasdale”, and “Keats – A Sonnet, by Florence Earle Coates”. A beautiful collection of classic poems that will appeal to poetry lovers and those with a particular interest in the life and work of this incredible English literary figure. Ragged Hand is publishing this brand new collection of classic poetry now complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

      BIBLIOGRAPHY

      John Keats

      An English poet, born in London in 1795 or 1796, died in Rome, Feb. 27, 1821. He was sent at an early age with his two brothers to a school in Enfield, where he remained until his 15th year. He seems to have been careless of the ordinary school distinctions, but read whatever authors attracted his fancy. He never advanced in his classical studies beyond Latin, and his knowledge of Greek mythology was derived from Lempriere's dictionary and Tooke's Pantheon; a singular fact considering the thoroughly Hellenic spirit which imbues some of his works. In 1810 he was removed from school, and apprenticed for five years to a surgeon in Edmonton. His earliest known verses are the lines In Imitation of Spenser.
