About this audiobook
The letters of Keats between 1816 and 1821 are passionate, revealing and sensitive. Furthermore, it was within the context of these letters that many of the poems first appeared. Perry Keenlyside has selected some of the most revealing of the letters to show the state of mind and attitudes of the poet while he was writing that made him one of the most loved poets in the English language.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I just spent a lovely afternoon listening to Samuel West and Michael Marsh read this collection of selected poems and letters by John Keats. The letters are arranged chronologically, and the poems interspersed were written at the same time, often even mentioned in the letters. Keats was the first poet I fell in love with at the age of about 14, and I fell in love with him all over again after listening to this fine and beautifully read collection.
