The letters of John Keats, one of the great Romantic poets. This comprehensive selection includes Keats's intellectual theories such as "negative capability" and the idea of the world as the "Vale of Soul-Making", his love letters to Fanny Brawne and his family letters to his brothers George and Tom. This third edition includes three letters that came to light after the 1935 second edition was published. The editor was the son of Harry Buxton Forman, an authority on Keats and Shelley and also a notorious forger of Georgian and Victorian first editions.

The book is in good strong readable condition with some tanning to the page edges, and previous owner's inscription to the ffep. The dustwrapper is good, but tanned to the spine and a little scuffed, and has been neatly price clipped.
