INTRODUCTION

John Keats was born on 31 October 1795 and took his last breathe on 23 February 1821. He was

the first of Frances Jennings and Thomas Keats's five children, one of whom died in

infancy. His parents had been wed for barely a year when John was born. His maternal

grandparents, John and Alice Jennings, were well-off and, upon his parents' marriage, had

entrusted the management of their livery business to Thomas. John Keats was born as the

greatest romantic poet. He was one of the key figures in the second generation of the movement,

despite publishing his work over only a four year period.1 He was educated at the Rev. Mr.

Clarke's school at Enfield.

The money problems which began with his grandfather's death were exacerbated by his mother's

death in Mid-March of 1810 and his grandmother's death in December of 1814. Keats, as the

eldest child, was old enough to try and help his mother through her illness; her death impressed

itself upon him deeply. His grandmother, whose home had been his for nearly a decade, was

also sorely missed.

Keats displayed great aptitude for the difficult job though his enthusiasm waned as his interest in

poetry grew. For the next three years, he studied medicine. He also wrote his first poem in

1814, a few months before his grandmother died.

INTELLECTUAL BACKGROUND OF JOHN KEATS

At the time when John Keats was born it was said that 'poets are born, not made`. Poets at that

time were either gentleman from the upper classes where incomes were unearned, or well

educated with broad intellectual backgrounds that gave them the ability to make a living from

writing. Keats's background was, at the time, definitely of the 'lower' classes. He didn't have any

of the cultural and social advantages that many of his contemporary poets took for granted. Also,

in Keats's early life there was nothing to indicate a poetic talent. He had to be a self made poet or

none at all. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to understand what an incredible amount of energy

he needed to become a poet. The fact that he grew to become a poet whose writing has lived for

one and a half centuries, is almost unbelievable. The odds against him were incredible. This is

why Keats's poetry becomes much more meaningful with a little knowledge of the facts of hislife. Thomas Keats, John's father was an employee of a livery stable and an inn near Moorgate in

London. When he married his employer's daughter, Frances Jennings in 1794, his circumstances

improved. John was born the next year. The father's job seems to have been secure and well paid.

John's grandfather and grandmother retired and put their son-in-law in charge of the stables and

inn. This meant that the father could choose a good school for his boys. He chose a school in

Enfield, near the grandparents. For John's purposes this school was an excellent choice. The

headmaster of the school, John Clarke, was an enlightened and liberal minded teacher.

John Keats began at Clarke's school when he was seven, and continued his ordinary, happy

childhood there. He was a likable boy, good looking and always had a lot of friends. Still, he

gained some notoriety at school for his aggressive temper. Young Keats was a fighter. In spite of

his fierceness, his boyhood remained sunny.

When he was nearly ten the first of many tragedies that would change his personality for ever

took place on a London street. His father was thrown off his horse and died of his injuries. As if

this wasn't enough; his mother's mourning didn't last for long. Because of her inheritance of

John's father, she became the "victim" of a fortune hunter. Within two months of John's father's

death she had remarried a bank clerk named Rawlings. John must have seen this as something of

a betrayal. Almost immediately afterwards came a third catastrophe. Mr. Jennings, John's

maternal grandfather, died early in 1805. He left his family well provided for, but some


7/14

7

provisions of his will were unclear and left openings that would make John's finances suffer later

in life. Shortly after his death, Rawlings and his new wife ran into money difficulties. In the legal

and family upsets that followed, John and the other children were taken to live with their

grandmother in Enfield. John's liveliness was now being interrupted by depressed moods that

would plague him all his life. Yet the days in Enfield were not totally black. The school with its

gentle atmosphere was a safe haven for John whose world had been shattered. His grandmother

gave the children a pleasant home.

John Keats was temperamentally incapable of doing things by halves. He studied day and night

and carried off with that year's school prize for best literary work. By then he had read nearly

every book in the school library and he begged his master for more. Of course he won his

mother's approval, but he wouldn't enjoy it for long. Her illness had become a 'decline' which

was another term for the disease called 'consumption', or tuberculosis. The disease was, as it

always was in those days, fatal. And John who was fourteen had become aware of the fact that

she would die. As his mother's illness worsened, John's devotion deepened. He took care of his

mother. He made her meals, kept her company, sat up with her, read to her and allowed no one

else to tend to her. But he had to get back to school. While he was there the news of his mother's

death came. John took his family's burdens very seriously.

He knew that he had to train himself to make a living. In the end he chose the profession ofmedicine. Arguably his choice was influenced by his recent misery, his helplessness in the face

of his mother's fatal illness. Keats entered a placid period as an apprentice to a apothecary-

surgeon named Hammond. This meant he was a slightly glorified servant. However he had some

free time which he used to develop his love of books. In his search of books he was aided by an

older friend, Charles Cowden Clarke, the son of Keats's former headmaster. With Clarke's

encouragement, Keats devoured history, geography, a little science, a great deal of popular

fiction, classics and English literature. And of course he also read a good deal of poetry.

Another turning point in Keats's life came when Clarke one day gave him the Faire Queeneby

Edmund Spenser. This is a long unfinished, sixteenth century masterwork. Young Keats was

delighted. And more: it sparked his first poem: 'Imitation of Spenser'. Keats had fallen in love

with poetry. That love contained the same fervent intensity as all the other loves of his life. But

at the same time he was a medical student, working hard towards earning a proper living. Keats

remained reasonably devoted to medicine at least through 1815. Given the horrifying nature of

much medical practice then, a man needed much dedication. But Keats continued and in 1816 he

passed his examination and became a licensed apothecary. But his mind turned away from his

earlier ambition of becoming a surgeon. He had other ideas. The previous year he had worked up

the courage, or confidence, to reveal to Clarke that he had started writing poetry. He had shown

Clarke an early sonnet and he had been impressed. Encouraged, Keats had gone on showing him

and others his work. He might not have been surrounded by experts of poetry. But he turned to

his books. So he had full awareness of the exciting upheavals poetry was undergoing:

Romanticism was underway.

WORKS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF JOHN KEATS

In 1814 at the age of nineteen he Keats wrote a surviving poem known as An Imitation of

Spenser. In 1816, Keats received his apothecary's licence but before the end of the year he

announced to his guardian that he had resolved to be a poet, not a surgeon. In May 1816 Keats

publish the sonnet O Solitudein his magazine TheExaminer,a leading liberal magazine of the

day.2

In 1819, during his time at Wentworth, he also wroteThe Eve of St. Agnes,La Belle Dame Sans

Merci, Hyperion, Lamia and Otho (critically slammed and not dramatised till 1950). In

September, very short of money, he approached his publishers with his new poems. They were

unimpressed with the collection, finding the presented versions of Lamia confusing, and

describing St Agnesas having a "sense of pettish disgust" and "a 'Don Juan' style of mingling up

sentiment and sneering a poem unfit for ladies".3

4To Autumnwould go on, long after his death, to become one of the most highly praised poems

in the English language.5The final volume Keats lived to seeLamia, Isabella, The Eve of St.

Agnes, and Other Poemswas eventually published in July 1820. It received much greater

acclaim than hadEndymionor Poems, finding favourable notices in bothThe Examinerand The

Edinburgh Review.

When Keats died, at the age of 25, he had been seriously writing poetry for barely six years

from 1814 until the summer of 1820 - and publishing only for four. His first poem, thesonnet O

Solitudeappeared inthe Examinerin May 1816 and his collectionLamia, Isabella, The Eve of St

Agnes and other poemscame in July 1820 before his final voyage to Rome. The compression of

this poetic apprenticeship and maturity into so short a time is one remarkable aspect of Keats's

work.6

"When he died at the tragically early age of 25, his admirers praised him for thinking "on his

pulses" for having developed a style which was more heavily loaded with sensualities, more

gorgeous in its effects, more voluptuously alive to actualities than any poet who had come before

him." In his own words, Keats sought to "load every rift" with ore.7

His skills were

acknowledged by his influential allies such asShelley,Hunt and to a lesser extentByron,among

the third generation of Romantic poets,8if receiving some harsh reviews from critics and

publishers. Some of the collected works and achievement of John Keats are:

CONCLUSION

John Keats died on 23 February 1821 and was buried in theProtestant Cemetery, Rome.His last

request was to be buried under a tombstone, without his name, and bearing only the legend (in

pentameter), "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." Severn and Brown erected the stone.

Under arelief of alyre with broken strings, the epitaph reads:

This Grave

contains all that was Mortal,

of a

Young English Poet,

Who,

on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart,

at the Malicious Power of his Enemies,

Desired

these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone:

Here lies One

Whose Name was writ in Water.

Thus, the above are the works and achievements of John Keats at his life time.
