John Keats was born on October 31, 1795 in London, England. He died on February 23, 1821, Rome, Papal States [Italy]. John Keats was an English Romantic poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. Considering his poetry only having been published for four years before his death, he was a key figure in the second generation of romantic poets, alongside Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Despite the fact that his poems were not well regarded by critics during his lifetime, his fame expanded after his death, and by the end of the nineteenth century, he had established himself as one of the most popular of all English poets. He had a big effect on a lot of other poets and authors later on. His initial meeting with Keats, according to Jorge Luis Borges, was the most crucial literary experience of his life. Keats' poetry is known for its sensuous imagery, which is especially evident in his odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature.
