View through CrossRef
John Keats and Romantic Scotland is the first full-length study of John Keats and the literature, landscape, history, and culture of Scotland. Linking all thirteen chapters is Keats’s epic walk through Scotland in summer 1818, and the book ranges across topics such as Keats in relation to Robert Burns and Walter Scott, highland tours, mountaineering, myth, medievalism, poetical purposes, health, and Scottish painters. The book offers a thorough reassessment of Keats as he foot-stepped his way from Burns’s Dumfries to Loch Lomond, Oban, Mull, Iona, and Inverness, and offers eye-opening new readings of the poems and letters that he wrote while on the road.
