    "summary": "John Keats was an English Romantic lyric poet, now ranked among the greatest lyric poets in English and best known for his odes, including “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and “Ode to a Nightingale”, and for the long poem Endymion. His verse is distinguished by vivid imagery, sensuous appeal and philosophical exploration through classical legend. Born in London, he lived for a time with his widowed grandmother at Edmonton and attended school at Enfield, where John and Charles Cowden Clarke encouraged his literary interests. Spenser awakened his poetic ambition, while Leigh Hunt introduced him to a liberal literary circle. Keats trained as a surgeon and worked at Guy’s Hospital, but found that its demands hindered his writing; after 1817 he devoted himself to poetry. Across sonnets, odes, Spenserian romance and Miltonic epic, he sought poetic wonder in beauty, nature, imaginative longing, and the desires and sufferings of the human heart. His extraordinary year of 1819 produced Lamia, “The Eve of St. Agnes”, the major odes and the Hyperion poems. Conservative reviewers attacked his early work, but his reputation rose after his death from tuberculosis in Rome at twenty-five, especially during the Victorian age; his influence extended to Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites.",
