Keats, Then and Now
If you have an impression of an ethereal poet, scrub that from your consciousness.

âKeats: A Brief Life in Nine Poems and One Epitaphâ
By Lucasta Miller
Knopf, 370 pages
This is a biography by someone from Keatsâs neighborhood. Lucasta Miller grew up in Hampstead, where Keats lived and met his beloved Fanny Brawne. Ms. Miller describes the area â what is almost the same and what has changed. The result is a bifurcation of biography branching out into what generations of biographers have made of the poet and what Ms. Miller now thinks is important.
