This is the third book this year I have read weaving biography with the artistic work of the subject. This book was not unenjoyable because I really knew so little about Keats’s short life and was, therefore interested in the details. I also enjoyed Ms Miller’s analysis of the poems she chose. However, there was one thing that kept bothering me and that was the repetition of facts. It was as if each chapter ( and the Prologue)) had been written to stand alone. I have not read where this is so. It happened enough to distract me. _Yes, yes, I know he said that. You told me in the Prologue And in Chapter 2!_
Let’s say 3 1/2 stars.
Now, I must put in a plug for Marianne Faithfull’s album She Walks in Beauty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
