Important elements of Keats's poetry which came to define Romanticism-- Interest in lyric, the personal. Interest in the transcendent, that which is beyond human understanding.

- Interest in the transcendent as it relates to nature.

-Interest in a glorified or romanticized past both with the medieval and the classical.

-Interest in the role of the poet as well as in the creation of his art.

-Interest in imagination, which intuitively connects with nature and the transcendent and develops over time.

• Was a foremost romantic dreamer. Everything seemed beautiful under his pen, even the rockiest and most sorrowful objects.

• Love and Death were desires for him.

• Wrote only for five years.

• Does not generally write about Nature, but uses it as a device to make his poetry romantic and gentle.

• Works are on love and beauty but thoroughly are mixed with his feelings of depression.

• He was not superficial. He sought out beauty, but not the beauty of gold and diamonds. For him, love and nature were beautiful, stars were beautiful. Death was sublime.

• Was influenced by ancient mythology; texts by Homer, Dante, Virgil, Shakespeare etc; fellow romantic poets Shelley and Byron; Latin and classical poet form.

• Wrote many “epic story poems” such as Hyperion and Endymion.

Poets of Romantic Movement gave priority to the topics of lower class, common people and countryside unlike the Neo-classical poets, focusing on difficult and abstract topics.

Poets of this age followed blank verse and prosaic style.

Keats composed poems on Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to the Nightingale, Endymion etc. Odes and lyrics are the characteristics of Romantic poets.

There is effect of Hellenism in his poems but his diction is countryside and natural. They come out with the overflow of ideas.

His following of beauty in all forms show his love for nature. It reminds the slogan of “Return to Nature”.

Poems are enjoyed with great verve because of his love for beauty whom he calls Beauty is truth and truth beauty.
