COMPLETE POETRY

This volume of Keatss powerful poetry follows as closely as possible the chronological order of composition, highlighting autobiographical elements including the young Wildes conflicting attitudes to Greece and Rome, pagan and Christian, and his fluctuating attraction to Roman Catholicism. The Appendix shows Wildes original ordering, constructed with great care around a musical arrangement of themes. The poems reveal unexpected aspects of a literary chameleon usually identified with sparkling wit and social comedy.
