About the Book
The spring of 1819 was an exceedingly prolific period of Keats’s short life, catalysed by his burgeoning romance with Fanny Brawne. Keats’s letters to Fanny Brawne are among the most famous love letters ever written. As next door neighbours they exchanged numerous short notes and occasionally more passionate ones. When Keats’s letters to Fanny were published most of his admirers were shocked. The letters were highly emotional, at times manipulative and deliberately cruel. Now, however, they are justly regarded as among the most beautiful letters ever written.
Keats in Hampstead celebrates Keats and Fanny in their own words, providing a coveted opportunity to renounce the plush velvet seats of a darkened theatre in favour of a plum tree, a Hampstead breeze and, perhaps, a draught of vintage.
