John Keats (1795-1821) John Keats, one of the greatest English poets and a major figure in the Romantic movement, was born in 1795 in Moorfields, London.
His father died when he was eight and his mother when he was 14; these sad circumstances drew him particularly close to his two brothers, George and Tom, and his sister Fanny. Keats was well educated at a school in Enfield, where he began a translation of Virgil's Aeneid. In 1810 he was apprenticed to an apothecary-surgeon. His first attempts at writing poetry date from about 1814, and include an `Imitation' of the Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser.

Introduction John Keats died of tuberculosis at the age of 25 after writing a remarkable number of poems that have helped define the Romantic tradition.
Keats and his siblings George, Tom, and Frances (Fanny) lost their father when he died after a fall from a horse in 1803, and their mother to tuberculosis in 1811. Keats was an apprentice to an apothecary–surgeon when he was 15; he received his apothecary certificate in 1816, but gave up that profession in order to write. Keats was acquainted with the writer and editor Leigh Hunt, who introduced him to some of the leading intellectuals and writers of the time. Selected Love Letters to Fanny Brawne.

Poems on Keats’s grave proliferated in the nineteenth century like the flowers (and, later, feral cats) that populated his resting place.
In her study Poetical Remains: Poets’ Graves, Bodies, and Books in the Nineteenth Century, Samantha Matthews points out that the graves of Keats and Shelley, situated near one another in the Cimiterio Acattolici (or Protestant Cemetery) in Rome, attracted more poems than the graves of all other British poets combined (p. 115). For the Victorians, as James Najarian has shown, Keats represented delicate, effeminate poetics: so delicate that the infamously bad reviews killed him (“snuffed out by an Article” as Byron’s Don Juan puts it in canto XI, stanza 60). His grave signified the exile of a foreign patriot, a melancholic marginalised plot on the edge of Rome reserved for non-Catholics, which in the 1820s only permitted the act of burial outside the hours of daylight.
