John Keats was an English Romantic poet who lived during the early 19th century. He is considered one of the most important figures in English literature and is known for his lyrical and emotional poetry. Keats was heavily influenced by the Romantic movement and drew inspiration from nature, beauty, and the power of the imagination.
His works often explore themes of love, mortality, and the transience of life. Some of his notable works include “Ode to a Nightingale,” “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” and “To Autumn.” Keats’ poetry continues to be celebrated for its rich imagery, musicality, and profound exploration of human emotions.
