John Keats as a Critic: A New Approach

Abstract

Romantic literary criticism in English literature is basically associated with and dominated by the writings of William Wordsworth in his ‘Preface to Lyrical Ballads’ (1800) and Coleridge in his ‘Biographia Literaria’. Apart from them, PB Shelly, Hazlitt, De Quincy and John Keats also contributed to the development of criticism in the Romantic period.
