A Collection of Essays on John Keats

A Collection of Essays on John KeatsOn having just read the 'A Collection of Essays on John Keats' by Hilda Morton Taylor I felt compelled to give a copy to a friend. As I was happy to learn that it was written by a writer of the highest caliber, I was delighted to see that this book contains a well-written sample of an essay on Keats. In this brief article I will compare and contrast the samples of essay on Keats.I am glad to see that the essay samples on John Keats are written in an easy to read style. There is no surprise about the source or manner of the work being composed. There is just a hint in the first essay sample of an essay on Keats, that I found refreshing.The second sample of an essay on Keats, the 'Title Chapter' is a well-written introduction to the collection. It brings a bit of Keats's genius into the light, without the poet becoming too personal. It is also very nice to see that Taylor goes into greater detail than the first essay sample.This essay sample is extre mely well-written, starting with a full disclosure of some of the facts surrounding the poet's death. The first sentence describes the tragedy at Dunsany's dying breath: 'He had been away from his country for only a day. He had never been more deeply shocked in his life.'The next sample of an essay on Keats, the 'Objects of the First Love' is composed of two essays, a song and a poem. I found the song essay to be the strongest of the two. This is because it captures the essence of Keats's genius, which I discovered when reading the other sample of an essay on Keats.James Hardwick's essay 'My God' is based on an incident that happened during the composer's stay in Scotland. It is also based on James Hardwick's love of music and his love of England. The poems included in this sample of an essay on Keats are part of the collection entitled 'Bridled'.Although I have included a few poems in the samples of essays on Keats I also think that there should be a little more attention paid to t he words that make up the pieces. This might mean going back and reading my previous work. I hope that this does not happen, but the simple fact remains that a fine paper of essays can make use of the best works of the best writers.I found the 'A Collection of Essays on John Keats' to be a delightful collection, a paper of essays on Keats, on what makes Keats so great, and on the genius of the poet. Even though I did not find this to be a delightfully edited paper of essays on Keats I do not regret the purchase. I hope that you will give a copy of this excellent collection of essays on Keats a look.
