Excerpt from Keats and Spenser: A Dissertation Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Hedelberg for the Acuisition of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Again, Mr. W. T. Arnold declares,,, The strongest literary influence exercised by any one writer upon the mind of Keats was that exercised by Spenser. Leigh Hunt's influence is strongly marked only in his earliest, that of Milton only in his latest work; but not only is Spenser everywhere both in the volume of juvenile poems and in Endymlon, but one of Keats' latest and most beautiful poems, St. Agnes' Eve, is perhaps the finest example of the use of the Spenserian stanza, out of Spenser, in the whole range of English verse. Spenser was his first love in poetry and even Milton and Shaks pere did not cause him to be forgotten in Keats' ma turer years. 2)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the multifaceted influence of Edmund Spenser on the poetry of John Keats, providing a detailed analysis of the ways in which Keats's language, meter, subject matter, and methods of treatment were shaped by his deep admiration for Spenser's "The Faerie Queene." The author examines the extent to which Keats imitated Spenser's diction, tracing the presence of Spenserian words, phrases, and expressions in Keats's poetry. The book also delves into the broader thematic and stylistic parallels between the two poets, shedding light on the ways in which Keats's preoccupation with sensuous beauty, chivalry, and the interplay of imagination and reality can be traced back to Spenser's influence. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between these two significant figures in English literature, highlighting the profound impact Spenser had on Keats's poetic development and the ways in which Keats reinterpreted and revitalized Spenserian traditions in his own unique style.
