Detailed explanation-1: -John Keats was an English Romantic lyric poet whose verse is known for its vivid imagery and great sensuous appeal. His reputation grew after his early death, and he was greatly admired in the Victorian Age.
Detailed explanation-2: -When reference is made to Romantic verse, the poets who generally spring to mind are William Blake (1757-1827), William Wordsworth (1770-1850), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron (1788-1824), Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and John Keats (1795-1821).
Detailed explanation-3: -Keats’ poetry reveals almost all the features of Romantic poetry, such as subjectivity, escapism, addition of strangeness to beauty, love of nature, melancholy note and lyricism.
Detailed explanation-4: -With their joint publication in 1798 titled Lyrical Ballads, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge started the Romantic period in English Literature. Wordsworth is considered the father of Romantic poetry.
Detailed explanation-5: -Keats does not think nature as noble as other phases of development but on the other hand he does not challenge nature’s importance. That is why nature imagery is an important element in many of his poetry. His choice of subjects differs from that of most of the other major romantic poets.
