John Keats: Selected Poems

John Keats
(4 Sterne; 25 Bewertungen)
John Keats is perhaps the most talented poet of the English Romantic Period. Although his life was cut short by disease at the age of 25, he produced some of the most famous poems in world literature. Less erudite and philosophical than Shelley and not so technically versatile as Byron, he displayed a sure poetic instinct and an amazing ability to appeal powerfully to the senses and to the emotions by the brilliance of his diction. Thus his poetry is noted more for exquisite feeling than for thought, but in his particular sphere he was unmatched. His influence upon later poets has been immense.

I don't like being overly critical bc these are done by volunteers and i appreciate the service, but the pronunciation wasn't clear enough for me to continue listening to this recording.

Steady delivery, if a little flat at times. The poems themselves are cleverly written and mostly enjoyable

somehow this reader thinks that the greatness of a poem has to be expressed by reading it in a silly voice. Please anyone from Britain: provide the Librivox community with a version read in an British accent.
