Book Description

Helen Vendler widens her exploration of lyric poetry with a new assessment of the six great odes of John Keats and in the process gives us, implicitly, a reading of Keats's whole career. She proposes that these poems, usually read separately, are imperfectly seen unless seen together--that they form a sequence in which Keats pursued a strict and profound inquiry into questions of language, philosophy, and aesthetics.

Vendler describes a Keats far more intellectually intent on creating an aesthetic, and on investigating poetic means, than we have yet seen, a Keats inquiring into the proper objects of worship for man, the process of soul making, the female Muse, the function of aesthetic reverie, and the ontological nature of the work of art. We see him questioning the admissibility of ancient mythology in a post Enlightenment art, the hierarchy of the arts, the role of the passions in art, and the rival claims of abstraction and representation. In formal terms, he investigates in the odes the appropriateness of various lyric structures. And in debating the value to poetry of the languages of personification, mythology, philosophical discourse, and trompe l'oeil description, Keats more and more clearly distinguishes the social role of lyric from those of painting, philosophy, or myth.

Like Vendler's previous work on Yeats, Stevens, and Herbert, this finely conceived volume suggests that lyric poetry is best understood when many forms of inquiry--thematic, linguistic, historical, psychological, and structural--are brought to bear on it at once.

5-0 out of 5 stars Vendler offers deepening insight into Keats' art & heart
After five years since I first studied this work on Keats' Odes (and after continual feasting on her "Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets"), I have returned to Vendler's volume to renewed appreciation of her respectful insight into Keats' creations and processes.The same respectfulness and confident humility that graces her Shakespeare criticism flourishes here - and warrants at least a brief expression of consensus with earlier laudatory reviews.

Most significantly for the lover of Keats, Vendler integrates the life and creativity of the seven or so months during which he produced odes that "belong to that group of works in whch the English language finds an ultimate embodiment."She makes explicit the implicit signs of connection among and growth through the Odes (and a key portion of Fall of Hyperion).Connections with Shakespeare, Spenser, and Milton are interwoven skillfully -- as integral parts of Keats' context as were the works of nature and art that are explicitly addressed in the poems.

Vendler's work extends much deeper than I can fully follow, and some of it will leave all but English majors in the dust.Let's not let that discourage the rest of us amateur Keats enjoyers - the Introduction alone plus the initial discussion of each of the Odes contain indispensable caresses for the heart of mere mortals.

5-0 out of 5 stars Insightful, Intriguing, Thought-Provoking Analysis
Helen Vendler has created a scholarly, insightful look at the odes of John Keats.The odes comprise about a dozen pages; Vendler's analysis is nearly 300 pages. She analyzes in thoughtful detail six classic odes of Keats, not in isolation, but by emphasizing their complex interrelationships. She argues that each poem reflects the odes preceding it and shaped the subsequent odes.As she states, "For the poet, the completion of one poem is the stimulus for the next; this is particularly true for poems of the same genre."

Not surprisingly, Vendler assumes that the reader is reasonably familiar with Keats' better known poetry (Hyperion, Endymion, and, of course, the Odes).As Spenser, Milton, and Wordsworth significantly influenced Keats, some familiarity with these poets is helpful. I found that Vendler requires attention and thought, but in return she provides insightful commentary that leads to a deeper appreciation of Keats' poetic genius.

On occasion Vendler's style becomes unnecessarily convoluted. But these instances are rare lapses; her writing is characterized by a clarity that is often absent in modern criticism.

She scrupulously credits ideas originating with others, explicitly identifies points of disagreement and differences in interpretation and in the process introduces the reader to a wide range of Keatsian studies. I gained a greater appreciation for modern literary criticism.I even enjoyed reading Vendler's detailed footnotes.

5-0 out of 5 stars Exceptional examination of both the Odes and their creation.
Helen Vendler" The Odes of John Keats' gives the reader anopportunity to see how the six great odes written in 1819 came to be. Sheshows how the poems are linked together through words, images, and ideas,starting with the 'Ode to Psyche" and ending with the greatode"To Autumn." Through a close reading of each poem, anexamination of each image, and a view of the rhetorical trope, fromreduplication to enumeration, which underlies each poem, Vendler providesthe reader with a deep understanding of Keats's artistic concerns andmeanings.. She demonstrates why Keats' achievement is so extraordinary andprovides the critical reader with a method by which s/he may enter into themind of the poet. For any lover of Keats' poetry, and for any lover ofbelles lettres, this is a book which belongs in your library. ... Read more

Book Description
Master of all things ephemeral and sensory, John Keats is undisputedly one of the most influential figures in poetry, and this sourcebook is the ideal introduction to this elusive, tragic Romantic hero. In this sourcebook, John Strachan gathers a wealth of material: a chronology of Keat's brief, but turbulent, life, Keats' letters, criticism from Keats' contemporaries to the present day, carefully annotated texts of his poems, including "Ode on a Grecian Urn," and suggestions for further reading. For all the essential information on Keats, look no further than this sourcebook. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Reading Keats in the right perspective - A Guide...
Twenty years after I read Keats' ' La Belle Dame Sans Merci' I got hold of this book. Even after all this time, the lines " And this is why I sojourn here/Alone and palely loitering/Though the sedge is withered from the lake/And no birds sing. " still remain in my inward eye. Suddenly I couldn't wait to read it again, and opened the book right where the ballad was. I can say that the beauty of the pictures we get in mind and the effect it produces on us haven't gone down a bit.

In this book, John Strachan writes about the following:

1. Portions of letters written by Keats to many of his friends

2. The early critical reception (to get an idea of the nature of reception he had as a budding poet)

3. Modern Criticism (to understand what the contemporary Keatsian scholars thought about his works).

4. Here comes the part which we all (Keats admirers) like alike - Key poems - the poems (in their various forms) published in this section are:
a. 'On First Looking into Chapman's Homer' ('Much have I traveled in the realms of gold')
b. From Endymion ('A thing of beauty is a joy for ever')
c. From 'Isabella; or The Pot of Basil. A Story of Boccaccio' ('Fair Isabel, poor simple Isabel')
d. From Hyperion. A Fragment ('Deep in the shady sadness of a vale')
e. The Eve of St.Agnes' ('St Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was!')
f. La Belle Dame Sans Merci: A Ballad' ('Oh, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms')
g. 'To Sleep' ('O soft embalmer of the still midnight')
h. 'Ode to Psyche' ('O Goddess ! hear these tuneless numbers,...')
i. Ode to a nightingale ('My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains')
j. 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' ('Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness')
k. 'Ode on Melancholy' ('No,no go not to Lethe,...')
l. From 'Lamia' ('Upon a time, before the faery broods')
m. 'To Autumn' ('Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,')
n. From 'The Fall of Hyperion. A Dream' ('Fanatics have their dream, wherewith they weave...')

5.Recommendations and pointers to reading further.

There are plenty of numbered footnotes on each page which aid quick reading, so that we don't digress trying to look up for meanings and connotations. This increases the speed and pleasure of reading. There are a lot of interesting historic details as well as other trivia. For instance, the fascination doesn't decrease even after reading the fact that title ('La Belle Dame Sans Merci') was derived from an English translation of a 1424 poem by French poet Alain Chartier.

After reading John Strachan's book, we are left with an increased and regenerated appreciation of Keats. His insightful comments and views add to the pleasure of reading Keats poetry. Here is an excellent resource (a guide, and more importantly a well researched sourcebook) for all Keats lovers, English majors and Keatsian scholars. Highly Recommended! ... Read more

Doing a review of someone like Frost, Keats, Rilke, or Shakespeare is like reviewing the Bible, it is impossible.It has already been established that this man's poetry is mastery.Now the question is thus, what book should you purchase?If you want a small taste of his work at a good price, this is it.With this small, under $... edition, you can decide if you want to purchase anymore of his books.I say it is a great book for a poetry shelf in anyone's library.

5-0 out of 5 stars The brillance of Keat's poetry
What a wonderful anthology of John Keats' poetry. The selections in this book range from his well known and loved pieces like "Lamia" and " To Autumn" to less familliar but still gracefully written"On the Sea" and "To Leigh Hunt, Esq."The timeline inthe front of the book is helpful, giving an overview of what the world waslike in Keats' short lifespan. Many critics wonder what he would'veaccomplished had he lived longer, and by reading this collection of hispoems, one can only image the brilliant works he might have given us tofurther his powerful legacy. ...

Editorial Review

Book Description
This book offers a revaluation of Keats' major poetry. It reveals how Keats' work is both an oblique criticism of the dominant attitudes to literature, sexuality, religion and politics in his period, and a powerful critique of the claims of the imagination. For all that he shares the optimistic humanism of progressives like Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt, and Shelley, Keats nevertheless questions the sufficiency of either Art or Beauty. Professor Barnard shows how the notorious attack on Keats as a Cockney poet was motivated by class and political bias. He analyses the problems facing Keats as a second-generation Romantic, his continuing difficulty in finding an appropriate style for 'Poesy', and his uncertain judgement of his own work. The ambiguities and stresses evident in the poetry's treatment of women and sexual love are seen to reflect divisions in Keats and his society. The maturing use of myth from Poems (1817) to The Fall of Hyperion, and the achievement of the major odes are set in relation to Keats' whole career. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description

After more than a century of study, we know more about Keats than we do about most writers of the past, but we still cannot frilly grasp the magical processes by which he created some of the most celebrated poems in all of English literature. This volume, containing 140 photographs of Keats's own manuscripts, offers the most concrete evidence we have of the way in which his thoughts and feelings were transmuted into art.

The rough first drafts in particular are frill of information about what occurred, if not in Keats's mind, at least on paper when he had pen in hand: the headlong rush of ideas coming so fast that he had no time to punctuate or even form the letters of his words; the stumbling places where he had to begin again several times before the words resumed their flow; the efforts to integrate story, character, and theme with the formal requirements of rhyme and meter. Each revision teaches the inquiring reader something about Keats's poetic practice.

Several of the manuscripts are unique authoritative sources, while others constitute our best texts among multiple existing versions. They reveal much about the maturation of the poet's creativity during four years of his brief life, between "On Receiving a Curious Shell" (1815) and "To Autumn" (1819). Above all, they show us what is lost when penmanship yields to the printed page: what Helen Vendler, in her insightfiul essay on the manuscripts, calls "the living hand of Keats." These sharply reproduced facsimiles provide compelling visual evidence of a mortal author in the act of composing immortal works.

This is an excellent, fluidly written book which explores the life and writing of John Keats.Aileen Ward writes from a psychological perspectiveand seems to enter deeply into the inner workings of the poet. Shedescribes his development with sensitivity and elegance.Her writing isseamless, and although she explores Keats's life thoroughly, the text neverseems weighed down by detail. Ward's account may seem in certainsections to idealize Keats as 'the poet' and set him above the 'commonman.'She can also seem subtly manipulative in her treatment of his lifeand the psychological journey that she believes him to have undertaken.Attimes, the reader wonders how she could write so authoritatively on Keats'sinner life. However, despite these issues, Ward's biography is extremelyvaluable for anyone who wishes to better know Keats and his life.It is aperfect book for the beginning Keats scholar-- a deeply-felt biographywhich seems true to its subject in style as well as form. ...

Book Description
This is an entirely new selection of Keat's finest poetry containing all his best known work as well as a sample of less familiar pieces.Keats published three volumes of poetry before his death at age twenty-five of tuberculosis and, while many of his contemporaries were prompt to recognize
his greatness, snobbery and political hostility led the Tory press to vilify and patronize him as a "Cockney poet."Financial anxieties and the loss of those he loved most had tried him persistently, yet he dismissed the concept of life as a vale of tears and substituted the concept of a "vale of
Soul-making."His poetry and his remarkable letters reveal a spirit of questing vitality and profound understanding and his final volume, which contains the great odes and the unfinished Hyperion, attests to an astonishing maturity of power. ... Read more
