In this reissue of a classic work in modern literary criticism, W. Jackson Bate presents a thoughtful and informed investigation of the responses of English writers to the perennial dilemma of modern literature, concentrating especially on the period between 1660 and 1830.

This study by a well-known Keats scholar, first published in 1945, gives a precise description of the unfolding of a great poet's craftsmanship and suggests alignments of the technical progression with the changes of the mind.

Bate has been concerned to show the organic relationship between the Keats's art and his larger, more broadly humane development. This is a book of many dimensions, not a restricted critical or biographical study but a fully integrated whole.
