This is an entirely new selection of Keats''s finest poetry containing all his best known work as well as a sample of less familiar pieces. Keats published three volumes of poetry before his death at age twenty-five of tuberculosis and, while many of his contemporaries were prompt to recognize his greatness, snobbery and political hostility led the Tory press to vilify and patronize him as a ''Cockney poet.'' Financial anxieties and the loss of those he loved most had tried him persistently, yet he dismissed the concept of life as a vale of tears and substituted the concept of a ''vale of Soul-making.'' His poetry and his remarkable letters reveal a spirit of questing vitality and profound understanding and his final volume, which contains the great odes and the unfinished Hyperion, attests to an astonishing maturity of power. ''I like the price, and I''m sure students would, too. The glossary of classical names is a great idea.''--R. Parks Lanier, Jr., Radford University
Se trata de una antología de la obra del poeta romántico inglés John Keats en versión rítmica (endecasílabos, alejandrinos y heptasílabos castellanos en función del metro original), bastante más completa que las que circulan por ahi, pues ademas de contener todas sus extraordinarias Odas, los mas significativos Sonetos y algunas Piezas Sueltas de especial relevancia, ofrece la singularidad de incluir la composicion titulada La Vispera de Santa Ines, una de las piezas mas sobresalientes del quehacer poetico de Keats en opinion unanime de la critica britanica. Escrito en 1919, en el momento de mayor actividad creadora de su autor, se trata de un poema narrativo lleno de encanto y sensualidad, que sobre un fondo de ambiente medieval (que a un lector español recuerda las leyendas de Becquer), relata una vieja supersticion, segun la cual la vispera del dia de santa Ines (el 21 de enero), las muchachas virgenes podian contemplar en sueños a su futuro esposo siguiendo cierto ritual. Debido a su envergadura (42 estrofas que dan un total de 378 versos en el texto ingles, 591 endecasilabos castellanos en la traduccion). Edicion bilingue, ingles-castellano, acompañada de Introduccion y Solapa editorial. De gran interes para ahondar en la vida y obra del gran poeta ingles John Kyats
