Abstract

It has been the accepted opinion that Keats's first volume received very little attention at the time of its publication in 1817. This is no doubt due to the fact that until recently the only review known was that by Leigh Hunt published in three parts in the Examiner for June 1, July 6, and July 13, 1817. In 1917, Sir Sidney Colvin1 brought to light two others, namely that in the September issue of the Eclectic Review and that in Constable's Scots and Edinburgh Magazine for October, 1817. It has been my good fortune to discover two additional reviews which seem to have been overlooked by students of Keats, although they are apparently the earliest published.
