"Keats: Poems Published in 1820" by John Keats is a compilation of expressive poems from the 1800s that covers subjects such as the definition of beauty, different types of love, and what life truly means. Including well-known works of art like "Ode to a Nightingale" and "Lamia", it showcases both the beauty of natural landscapes and the struggles with hard questions about life that people have. From the beginning to the end, its poems reflect on the poet's early years and the events that impacted him, and even what he faced such as health problems, a strong connection to Fanny Brawne, and ups and downs in literature. The romance of Lamia displays his beliefs about ever-changing love and the human experience; this sets the stage for readers to dive into the mind of the poet as they explore the depth of the worlds of the poems.

Summary
About the AuthorJohn Keats was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century, he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood; the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1888 called one ode "one of the final masterpieces".
