A detailed study of John Keatss classic volume of poetry published in 1820 considered in the light of the history of melancholy
First, book-length critical study of John Keatss collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820)Considers the anthology as a poetically and thematically unified collection, instead of the more usual method of analyzing the poems in chronological order of writingProposes that the main theme running through the volume is melancholy, a very capacious medical category extending back to ancient Greco-Roman writers, through the Renaissance, and the subject of literary cults in the Romantic ageThe first detailed study of Keatss markings and annotations on his copy of Robert Burtons The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) which was his favourite book during 1819 when he was writing the poems
This book examines John Keatss immensely important collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820), and is published in the volumes bicentenary. It analyses the collection as an authorially organised and multi-dimensionally unified volume rather than as a collection of occasional poems. R. S. White argues that a guiding theme behind the 1820 volume is the persistent emphasis on different types of melancholy, an ancient, all-consuming medical condition and literary preoccupation in Renaissance and Romantic poetry. Melancholy was a lifelong interest of Keatss, touching on his medical training, his temperament and his delighted reading in 1819 of Burtons The Anatomy of Melancholy.
