John Keats
Keats and Shelley both sadly passed away at a young age. Keats (b.1795–d.1821) quit his job as a surgeon because he found it hard to operate on patients who were aware of their misery. He had pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 23. He relocated to Italy in the hopes that the warmer climate would enhance his health. His best works were influenced by his time spent in Italy. At the young age of 25 in 1821, Keats passed away from tuberculosis.
John Keats was one of the most well-known members of the second generation of English Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Only four years of his writing were published, and critics did not generally laud it at the time. But after his passing, his standing increased, and by the end of the 19th century, he was regarded as one of the most cherished of all English poets. The Odes of 1819, a collection of six odes, are among Keats' most well-known and highly regarded compositions. To Autumn, which has been hailed as one of the best short poems in the English language, is the most well-known of these. Keats pioneered a brand-new category of brief lyrical poems through his 1819 odes, which had an impact on succeeding generations.
