John Keats (1795-1821)
John Keats (1795-1821) was born in London, where he was raised by a merchant after both his parents died when he was a teenager. Before Keats’s tragically early death at age 25, he was already celebrated as one of the prominent Romantic poets. He produced some of the most memorable poems of his time, including “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and the epic “Hyperion.”
