Sidney ColvinRezensionen

Colvin was one of the first biographers of John Keats (Amy Lowell was the other: it was a race between the two to see who could publish first). The resultant book is extraordinarily good. Colvin made full use of the somewhat limited material which was then available for reference, and has produced a very informative and eminently readable biography. He quotes extensively from Keats' writings,and examines his "life, poetry, friends, death and afterfame" with sympathy. There are some errors, not present in other, more modern biographies, as a result of some papers, etc., unavailable to Colvin now having become accessible. Despite this, Colvin remains my favourite of the many biographers of the poet.

First "connected account of Keats' Life and work".
