Keats's Places Summary

Keats's Places by Richard Marggraf Turley

As the essays in this volume reveal, Keatss places could be comforting, familiar, grounding sites, but they were also shifting, uncanny, paradoxical spaces where the geographical comes into tension with the familial, the touristic with the medical, the metropolitan with the archipelagic. Collectively, the chapters in Keatss Places range from the claustrophobic stands of Guys Hospital operating theatre to the boneshaking interior of the Southampton mail coach; from Highland crags to Hampstead Heath; from crowded city interiors to leafy suburban lanes. Offering new insights into the complex registrations of place and the poetic imagination, the contributors to this book explore how the significant places in John Keatss life helped to shape an authorial identity.


Keats's Places Reviews

The essays in this ranging and enlightening volume remind us that, however freely his imagination roamed, Keats remained, always, locally attached, and anchored in the living and breathing reality of the world in which he lived. (Chris Townsend, The BARS Review, Vol. 55, 2020)
