A NEW BIOGRAPHY OF KEATS . . .
John Keats: A New Life,
by Nicholas Roe.
In a review at the Financial Times, Ian Thomson says, "Roe is keen to revise our image of the sickly neurasthenic too frail for this life. In pages of trenchant analysis, Keats emerges as a calorific, occasionally even robust figure, who thought nothing of walking 600 miles in Scotland and cultivated a rakish, Byronic allure."
