Couverture de l’ouvrage On Keats’s Practice and Poetics of Responsibility

This accessible, informed, and engaging book offers fresh, new avenues into Keats?s poems and letters, including a valuable introduction to ?the responsible poet.? Focusing on Keats?s sense of responsibility to truth, poetry, and the reader, G. Douglas Atkins, a noted T.S. Eliot critic, writes as an ama-teur. He reads the letters as literary texts, essayistic and dramatic; the Odes in comparison with Eliot?s treatment of similar subjects; ?The Eve of St. Agnes? by adding to his respected earlier article on the poem an addendum outlining a bold new reading; ?Lamia? by focusing on its complex and perplexing treatment of philosophy and imagination and revealing how Keats literally represents philosophy as functioning within poetry. Comparing Keats with Eliot, poet-philosopher, this book generates valuable insight into Keats?s successful and often sophisticated poetic treatment of ideas, accentuating the image of him as ?the responsible poet.?
