On February 23 1821, a young English poet died of TB in Rome. Uncelebrated by the literary establishment during his lifetime, John Keats is today one of English literature’s most beloved figures, famed for the beauty of his poems, his lively, philosophical correspondence and the ineffable poignancy of his short life.
Two hundred years to the day after Keats’ death, The Poetry Society welcomes a circle of poets and Keats scholars to reflect on his enduring place in our literary imaginations in an evening of poetry, thought and discussion.
