Dear Classic Book Readers,





    John Keats
    John Keats

    (Oct. 31, 1795 - Feb. 23, 1821)
    Keats was sent to school early, beginning his love of literature, but was removed upon the death of his mother. Later in his youth, his brother was entrusted to his care; during this time, Keats wrote "Endymion," which was met with a great deal of abuse from critics. However, his poetry - especially his collection of odes - became popular and highly esteemed by the end of the 19th century, and are considered today to be some of the most perfect English poetry ever written. He died of tuberculosis, like many members of his family, and is buried in Rome with the epitaph, "Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
