John Keats (1795-1821) was a Romantic English poet; although, he only published fifty-four poems (dying prematurely at age 25), he is one of the most well-known poets in English Literature.
As well as giving up his career in medicine to become a poet, Keats was not even appreciated in his own time.
Fortunately, his popularity has grown significantly since his passing.
Some of his notable poems were Ode to a Nightingale, To Autumn, Ode on a Grecian Urn and On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer.
