英美文学 人物介绍 John Keats(济慈) Major Works

A Thing of Beauty -- the Poetry of John Keats Brief Introduction of Keats’ Poems Keats’ poetry, characterized by exact and closely-knit construction, emotional descriptions, and by force of imagination, gives transcendental values to the physical beauty of the world. His artistic aim is to create a beautiful world of imagination as opposed to the miserable reality of his day. He sought to express beauty in all his poems.
