JOHN KEATS Lamia, Isabella,The Eve of St Agnes, Keats's third published volume appeared in July 1820. His health was beginning to decline, and he was being looked after by Leigh Hunt. The editorial work was handled by his friend Richard Woodhouse and his publisher John Taylor, who gathered together poems written over the previous three years. Small in extent as it is, this is one of the most treasured volumes in English literature, comprising not only the long poems listed on the title page but also the great odes and the fragmentary epic Hyperion. Reviews and sales were encouraging. But within just over half a year Keats was dead. Cloth £42 $70 Paperback £18 $30 I know the colour of that blood, - it is arterial blood - I cannot be deceived in that colour; that drop of blood is my death-warrant; I must die. |
