Publisher's Synopsis
John Keats, having published only three small volumes of poems in his lifetime, failed to find fame for more than forty years after his death. What could he have achieved had he lived. For what was Shakespeare at five and twenty years? Joseph Severn's love for Keats was different from Keats's love for Fanny Brawne or hers for him. Love resides in the emotions of the heart and manifests itself in the will of the mind and body.
