<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Posthumous Keats" is the result of Plumly's 20 years of reflection on the enduring poetry of one of England's greatest Romanticists. Incisive in its observations and beautifully written, this work is an ode to the man who saw his mortality as fatal to his poetry.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>John Keats's famous epitaph--"Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water"--helped cement his reputation as the archetype of the genius cut off before his time. In this close narrative study, Stanley Plumly meditates on the chances for poetic immortality, an idea that finds its purest expression in Keats. Incisive in its observations and beautifully written, <em>Posthumous Keats</em> is an ode to an unsuspecting young poet--a man who, against the odds of his culture and critics, managed to achieve the unthinkable: the elevation of the lyric poem to sublime and tragic status.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A beautiful book. . . . [W]hen Plumly turns his laser-like gaze on Keats' letters and his verse, the book is brilliant.--Nicholas Delbanco "Los Angeles Times"<br><br>Mr. Plumly writes beautifully and very movingly.--Charles McGrath "New York Times"<br><br>Plumly has written a book to last: worthy of its subject and commensurate with both words of its title.--Robert Pinsky "Slate"<br>
