Who is John Keats?
Keats was part of a literary movement known as Romanticism. His contemporaries included Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and William Wordsworth.
The Romantic movement that Keats was involved in was significant in both a literary and social dimension.
Poetry and literature of the time was concerned with the industrialization of Britain, the rise of big cities and the political and social decay that accompanied this transition.

Keats was not as involved with the social and political aspects of literature and, at the time, his contemporaries probably enjoyed more success.
Keats only really came to prominence four years before his death, although his mark on the literary canon is respected to this day.
Keats died at the young age of 25 from Tuberculosis. He had traveled to Rome on doctor's orders, thinking that the hot weather might be better for his lungs than the changeable British climate.
Some of his most haunting poetry was written in his lodgings in Rome.
