- John Keats (31 October 1795 - 23 February 1821) was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, although his poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century he was placed in the canon of English literature, strongly influencing many writers of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood ; the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1888 called one ode "one of the final masterpieces". Jorge Luis Borges named his first encounter with Keats an experience he felt all his life. Keats had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities", notably in the series of odes. Typically of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through natural imagery. Today his poems and letters remain among the most popular and analysed in English literature - in particular "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Sleep and Poetry" and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer".

When I was young so many of my peers were thirsty for this type of knowledge. Do young people today have the same restless inquisitiveness for literary figures of the past?
Great question. I would hope so, but if not, that's why I'm here.
Not many, but some of us do
We tend to gravitate more towards documentaries on musical figures when we are young. I was 50 before I began to look at "real poetry" & those who wrote it. Worry not about the young - they have their own passions that they research
For me, I'm very grateful to have been introduced to poetry when I was seven years old back in school in 2007 Edgar Allan Poe was the first poet I fell in love with ♥ 📝 📙 then percy Shelly, Lord Byron, shakespeare, and now John Keats 😌, so thank you for posting this @writelike.
I’m around 23. It’s rare to meet anyone my age who cares about poetry unless there’s a level of reactionary content in it. 🙄
*Thank you for this video! John Keats is my favorite poet in English, second only to Shakespeare.*
I love how you value the love and encouragement that people gave to Keats - the creative quality of friendship.
Very nice documentary on one of the great British poets. Thank you.
I learned of John Keats poetry in high school. His poem, “When I have fears” echoes his brilliance & made a deep impression on me then and now.
I can't believe it took 26 minutes into a 29 minute video before Fanny Brawn was even mentioned. She was the love of his life, IMHO his correspondence to her is his best work.
Keats is buried with Fanny Braun's last letter to him in his pocket . . .

Years ago, I learned there was a cable show in the U.S. called “Biography”. I was so excited because I thought it would be content like your channel. Instead it was mostly about celebrities and scoundrels.
Your channel should be required viewing in all English and History classes and top of the list for fans of literature.
Thank you!!! 😍
What a great compliment! Thanks! I hope it inspires readers and writers alike
A thing of beauty is a Joy Forever..by John Keats..I was grade 5 1969 in Ubay Bohol Central School where I found this inscription in one garden of the school..Then I went to Manila 1975 till 2018..I now settled for good here in San Pascual Ubay Bohol..I myself become a writer and composer.In 43 years I did not forget the inscription..You Tube is now vogue and there he is John Keats! Congratulations brethren!
Thank you for more great literary documentaries. You have quite an archive.
As a fellow youtuber and lover of the romantics, I say thanks in return
Thank you for sharing this wonderful thing.🙏
Yes, thank you for your channel. I appreciate your work in making these videos. It reminds of what I want/ wanted to be.
Thank you, my friend. And if it's being a poet you want, it's never too late - as cliche as it sounds.
Keats is one of my favorite poets, so thanks for this documentary!
Excellent job! Thoroughly enjoyed this and will be checking out your other work.
Keats has a way of painting entire worlds so richly and beautifully crafted that it feels like he's walked them a thousand years over. His prose is just gorgeous with the perfect touch of darkness, like something told around a warm flickering fireplace in the dead of winter.
I'll be reading my children and grandchildren Keats, and if not in front of the fireplace, it will be around a bonfire with some s'mores. Thanks for all the inspiring documentaries!
R.I.P. John Keats
Gone too soon!
Thank you for this. It is a pleasure to listen to your fine measured voice.
One of my favorite poets of my childhood and still today 😊 A great loss to the English literature that he died so young, I visited the room in Rome where he passed away 😔 Thank you so much for sharing this excellent documentary 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍😉
Not a biopic per se of Keats, but what did you think of the film BRIGHT STAR ?
@@ledeyabaklykova Thanks for the tip👍👍….I didn‘t see that movie 2009….but I‘ll watch it now….the critics liked this production…so its a promising evening…for me 😉 Maybe you‘ll like the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)….part of the romantic movement of the early 1800s…and a friend of the legendary poet William Wordsworth 💐 too 😉
Of course him dying so young and losing so many loved ones is heartbreaking but it genuinely seems like he lived a good life, knew a lot of wonderful people, was really lucky especially compared to other people during his time and at the end of the day I think that's what matters- not how long you live but how meaningful the years you do have are 🙂
Epitaph on John Keat 's tomb : "Here lies one whose name was writ in water".
Even after 300 years HE is equally relevant.
Excellent.
A wonderful documentary. Faithful account of Keat’s tragically short life. Thank you.
a thing of beauty gives joy for a lifetime -- that is enough for us ---
I was in a bookstore: do you have anything on Keats?
'What is a keat?'
🤯
Imaginary backhand slap and a few short sharp words, lol
Impressionnant
"All who have written of Keats have commented on the extra-ordinary rapid growth and development of powers as a poet" - Norman Howlings.
One of those of such talent and depth too good to live in this world
John was cute and going by what we know about him he had a great personality too... I kinda have a crush on him now after watching this 😳 Really gives "liking older guys" a new meaning 🤣
The City of Chichester is proud that Keats lived there for three years, where he wrote some of his best pieces.
At 2:56, you say that Keats' father passed the graveyard where William Blake "lay buried". This is very alarming, as Blake did not actually die until 1827. We must be grateful to whomever disinterred him in time so he could still write the poems for which he is remembered. Verb tenses matter.
That's the mistake and responsibility of the people who made this documentary, not the archivist or owner of this RUclips channel, Paul.
There are a surprising number of mistakes in these docs; I've found a couple, and so have other subscribers.
Edit: I wouldn't have caught the Blake mistake, so thanks for that.
Thank you Paul My old fashioned brain thrives on your old fashioned collection
I really enjoyed this biographical account of my favourite poet. Thank-you!
I did a 10 page research paper in him in high school and got A+. My teacher loved it so much she asked for a copy.
You must go to Keats House at beautiful Hampstead, if you haven’t been! 💚🖋️
I am doing now on "John Keats sensuousness"
Nice and perceptible presentation.Sensitive as well.Lok forward to more.
Thank you for this wonderful documentary!
Can you do a documentary on John Donne?
Thank you 😊
Thank you! I’ve learnt something here today.
Welcome! Glad you got something from it
Wonderful
Thank you
Romantic poet was born in a pub.
Please ask your sound engineer to ensure that the background sounds (music, seagulls) do not overwhelm the commentary to an otherwise well-researched programme.

How sad😢
Edward FitzGerald 1809 - 1883 of Woodbridge in Suffolk who translated and adapted the world famous multi-million selling poem the Ruba'iya't of Omar Khayya'm was a great admirer of Keats - writing highly of most of his poems... Like attracts like, because Light attracts Light - Genius awakens Genius. O K T C
Hyperion brought me here. Keats lives on in the Techno-core, he had to die far from home....again and again. Forever. Writ in water.

What is the name of the intro's song?
The kind of “legacy” ,John left behind;is still impalpable to many…
Plz make a video on John Milton
I have one on Milton unseen before on youtube. I'll post it the last week of June or first week in July
Was Keats bisexual or gay? Only asking because the speaker talks about „firm attraction“ to his male friends….
Maybe it was no one else's business?
Whether the GREAT poet John Keats was gay or bisexual, or not, indeed is no else's business. With whom someone has sex with is personal and private, and it needs to stay that way! Do you want other people to know of your sexual activities/partners? John Keats was a great, great Romantic poet, and since my youth I always have enjoyed his beautiful poetry...and that's enough for me. He was human, like all the rest of us...enough said...and it needs to stay that way.

I learned of John Keats through Dan Simmons like if you did!
3:20-9:00(childhood)
Do British still make so much of climbing social ladder and status? Its not common here in U.S.
My attempt at writing a Keatsian ode:
Ode to Neptune
Oft have I travell’d in thy realm of shells and gold,
Where creatures capricious sang their songs to me,
Azure dolphins sang to me, our souls didst agree
Upon a melodious love, Apollo’s lyre they hold
A murky brine held hearts music I was told,
In lush growth, more pearls than trees I’ve seen
Indeed more divinities than places I have before been.
O wat'ry god, Athens keeps no place for thee
Doth fall from an olive tree, not waves but dew
To graze the goodly lands, of wisdom and sense
Which Neptune graciously, youthfully possess few.
In his sea-awe kingdom, I lov’d what land laments,
A perennial art, an untold truth by Gaia not knew,
My lurid depth, match’d by deeps utmost intense,
Neptunic blue! Turquoise, azure dolphins, water I saw Apollo through
Just delicious 😋
Short answer no. Culture is unfortunately being killed off by the superficially perpetuated by media and education institutions.
And of course Fanny is invisible. That disgusting patriarchy!!!!
Ahhhhh rich kids
So was he gay? It seems that this is overlooked.
Leigh Hunt=kind of a babe! "Bright Star" the film kind of alludes to this...sort of.
@Globe Trotter a couple of things about your question: how much does it matter whether random strangers know what your private preferences are, really? Is it really anyon'es business at all... think about it. In the time of Keats, all these things were kept very private indeed - particularly if you were ''socially rising'' as it were, from working class to middle class. You cou;dnt afford to put a foot wrong, or you would risk losing your ''social position''. Social position was hugely important, English society was highly stratified and if you fell from grace, even with a minor 'misdemeanor'' your fall could be swift and harsh indeed. Witness Oscar Wilde and his fate. Also, look up Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol (Jail) for an insight into this mileau, so different from our own today.
@@pipfox7834 so in your opinion, was he gay?
So what?...Is it important whether John Keats was gay or bisexual, or not? He was a great poet, period!...and his great and beautiful poetry always will be loved and cherished by sensitive and multidimensional people.
John Keats was a sensitive young man, a feeling human being (like "most" everyone else) and it was so unfortunate that he had to die so young. It would have been my honor to be in his presence and had spoken to him.
Once again, and once again shamefully, you have omitted the important influence Robert Burns had on John Keats...this you also did about Wordsworth, Samuel Colerdge Taylor, Shelley and Byron in the documentary "The Romantic Poets"...As I cannot think of any good reason why you would not be aware of Burns's comprehensive influence on these poets I can only conclude that it was a deliberate decision, and therefore all the more shameful for that.
Oh dear, oh dear, you ARE getting upset.
Yes, the documentaries don't capture everything. But, I do have something on Robert Burns not yet on youtube. I'll post it around June-July.
Keats drowned. Why would you lie?
I believe it was Shelley who drowned. It was off the coast of Italy during a storm. However, John Keats poems were found in Shelley's pocket. I'll post on Shelley next week
@@AuthorDocumentaries thank you thank you. I believe your right.. Google has falsely claimed that Keats drowned hence the confusion.
@@caroledrury1411 I believe Keats died of tuberculosis.
@@marianapgar4409 yes thank you. Google lied
This video is very dismissive and arrogantly patronising towards women. Business dimmo mother. Chatty sisters. etc
