Description Toward Books Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne
I have two luxuries to brood over...your Loveliness and the hour of my deathThough John Keats (1795-1821) died when he was just twenty-five years old, he left behind some of the most exquisite and moving poetry ever written.
He also left an incredibly beautiful and tender collection of love letters, inspired by his great love for Fanny Brawne. Although they knew each other for just a few short years and spent a great deal of that time due to Keats' worsening illness, which forced him to live abroad, Keats wrote again and again about Fanny--his very last poem is called simply "To Fanny"--and wrote love letters to her constantly. She, in turn, would wear the ring he had given her until her death.
This remarkable volume contains the love poems and correspondence composed by Keats in the heat of his passion, and is a dazzling display of a talent cruelly cut short.

Without a doubt John Keats is the best romantic poet ever and my favorite too. He did not just write his poems; he had experienced each one. What is more painful is that he died without knowing what he's capable of.All his letters and poems are Simple and Heart touching. I would recommend this book to all romance lovers. A must read.While I own the Penguin Classics edition of "The Complete Poems of John Keats," this is a marvelous compilation of the beautiful letters that John Keats wrote to Fanny Brawne, the young woman that he fell head-over-heels in love with in the last years of his short life. These letters provide such a beautiful window into the heart and soul of one of mankind's greatest poets. Ms. Jane Campion, the director of the recently released film about Keats's love affair with Fanny Brawne, has collected
Of course, I've long known about Keats and the Romantic Poets but hadn't (until reading this slim volume) realised what an original mind he has. For me this is more evident in the letters than the poetry. Here is a marvellouse example:"We might spend a pleasant year at Berne or Zurich - if it should please Venus to hear my 'Beseech thee to hear us O Goddess.' And if she should hear, God forbid we should what people call, settle - turn into a pond, a stagnant Lethe - a vile crescent, row or
I have to give this 5 stars because, well, it's Keats. Except for a short introduction it's all Keats, his letters to Fanny Brawne and a selection of his poems. Most of these letters are little more than notes, short missives to his beloved. Considering his health, which he often alluded to, she was probably lucky to receive as many as she did. None of Fanny's letters to Keats is included since he was buried with many of them. He does refer to her notes and how he treasures them though frankly I
Call me biased, but I have a hard time rating anything by Keats less than 5 stars. I know not all of his poems are good, but I'm very fond of him as a person so I'm willing to overlook any shortcomings in his verses. Also, this rating and review are only for the first portion of this book--his letters to Fanny Brawne.It's a bit of an auspicious point in my life to be reading these letters. The way he felt about Fanny and the suffering he went through because he did not think she felt as strongly
I very nearly cried whilst reading this. Full review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAtxL...
Perfect and imperfect. Proof that love never dies. This is the most romantic love story I've ever read...and probably will ever read in my lifetime. Romeo and Juliet, Elizabeth and Darcy,Tristan and Isolde, Barbie and Ken...amateurs. "When Fanny was told of Keat's Death, the effect on her was terrible. The Twenty-year-old cut her hair short and spent three years in widows black, roaming the paths on the Heath where she and Keats had walked together." "Is there another life?...There must be, we
