The Poetical Works of John Keats.

A fine collection of Keats' most endearing poetical works, including Isabella, or the Pot of Basil, The Eve of St. Agnes, Lamia, and Endymion.

Alongside a supplementary memoir of the poet by Richard Monckton Milnes, this edition is wonderfully illustrated by George Scharf, an art critic, illustrator, and director of the National Portrait Gallery. It features numerous full page illustrations, as well as an array of wildflowers dotted throughout the text - an homage to the poets fondness for them.
