Description
This edition is designed to introduce students and general readers to the "real" Keats.
In place of the textual apparatus that was essential to scholars, Stillinger provides helpful explanatory notes. These notes give dates of composition, identify quotations and allusions, gloss names and words not included in the ordinary desk dictionary, and refer the reader to the best critical interpretations of the poems.
The introduction provides central facts about Keats's life and career, describes the themes of his best work, and speculates on the causes of his greatness.
