Delphi Classics are releasing the best public domain collections currently on the kindle store. The complete works of John Keats is very well organized (by original publications), has many original illustrations, and is generally well edited. I highly recommend this collection and any other Delphi Classic release. I would recommend also buying from their website (they regularly update many of their collections and if you buy through you can't seem to update through the kindle store, I think is working on correcting this).

I won't review Keats, but only say that this works very well on a Kindle. I've bought a lot of cheap editions on Kindle and too many are worthless, thrown into a digital format without thought. This edition was produced with thought. It's encouraging to see the development of digital books. They are coming into their own. For two bucks this book is more than worth it. The illustrations work very well. Illustrations were a real problem in the first Kindle books, but with the color Fire this has been solved, if the publisher takes care. Spend 2 dollars and buy yourself a copy of Keats.

What do we expect from an edition of Keats? All the poems helpfully organized, the plays, the letters, certainly. If possible, a decent biography, and illustrative material that brings home the distance between his time and ours.This Delphi collection has all the poems, indexed in three useful ways: by collection, chronologically and alphabetically. Otho the Great and King Stephen are included. There are not one but three essays on his life. The poems, too, have useful contextual notes and illustrations that include a facsimile of Endymion's first page and the final photo showing the poet's grave in Rome.There's probably more of Keats here than anyone but a scholar will have read before. For most of us a pleasure to come, and the biographies are a salutary reminded of how slowly Keats was elevated to second place among English poets behind Shakespeare.My only complaint: if you reverse the print to white on black for night-time reading on the iPad, large sections of the poetry are lost. The reversal has failed to work on a number of pages.

Need to start this off by stating I am not a scholar so this is not a scholarly review, rather someone who reads Keats and The Romantics for pleasure and inspiration. The consistently stunning, concise cleverness of Keats' poetry, e.g., the surprise final line regarding one who cannot enjoy being idle and so is awake when asleep is exceeded only by Keat's gentleness in his opinion of and direction to others exemplified in affectionate odes to friends. The price is very kind for a Kindle edition, especially for the volume of poetry and biography with illustrations, and the Kindle edition makes the text easy for older eyes to read regardless of a bedtime or gym setting. One of my best book purchases, both content and format!

Keats is easily my favorite English poet and this book is a wonderful compilation of his work. I love it and as a recently published Poet myself am constantly astonished by his brilliance.

great for college catchup auto didacts.marvelous for archive and review.a must have for the artist writer.love ited r
