Transcription de la présentation
  1. John Keats

  2. Tragic Life • Keats’s parents dies when he was young – his father when Keats was 8 and his mother when Keats was 14. • He nursed his brother Tom through TB and then contracted TB himself. • Died when he was very young. • Engaged to a woman who he was not allowed to marry

  3. Poetry • Critical Reception – negative • Used formal diction and rigid structure that went against the style of the time – remember Byron was the rock star poet • Very personal poetry – matched the intimacy of Wordsworth – respect for nature like Shelley and Byron and the fantasy elements as in Coleridges.

  4. Profound and prolific poet for his young years. • Many many poems

  5. Chapman’s Homer • The ability to be completely immersed in a poem and live through it. • Captured by the literature he read • Truth and beauty – the search for those two is a common path with art. • People serve for validation, truth, beauty, escape – the ability to find yourself in it and to find the world echoed for you. A safe place to take risks also

  6. Truth and Beauty • Can be found in any type of art people identify with • Paintings • Writings • Songs • Movies • Television shows Identifying is important and engagement encourages learning. The Romantics tried to engage people through their use of figurative language – make things come alive like The Odyssey did for Keats

  7. When I Have Fears • Sonnet of what Keats hasn’t done with his life. • What does death come down to – he accepts and is resigned to it and that is what his resolution of the problem is – he simply addresses it – he offers nothing more than what is there. • Another view of the archetype of Death

  8. Negative Capability • Keats was a master at making the poet a nonentity in poems and becoming completely immersed in the topic • That is what he does in Ode to a Nightingale • Through immersing himself in the bird, he transcends the pain of the mortal world.

  9. Ode on a Grecian Urn • The nature of truth and beauty – forever young – the fleetingness of youth and the world. The transient power of life – not so much on the urn as it captures forever the young people and the scene is a testament to Keats of the eternity of truth.
