'... the book presents a chronological journey through Keats's biographia literaria, a boon for readers of Keats; but Wolfson's attention to reading is also a movable feast, modeling a process that can be transferred to other writers ...' John Kandl, Modern Philology 'There is perhaps no scholar better suited to the task of reading Keats's poetry and letters than Wolfson. ... teachers of poetry competing with a multiplicity of media for the attention of a young generation of readers will no doubt welcome this loving and lively book.' Emily Rohrbach, The BARS Review In Reading John Keats, Susan Wolfson offers a dazzling tour of Keats's poetry across the brief, blazoned arc of his career ... Over the course of ten svelte, fast-paced chapters, Wolfson assembles an anthology of stunning readings of poetry readers find they may not know quite as well as they presumed. Whether one is looking into Keats's sonnet on Chapman's Homer for the first time, one sees - and hears - it anew under Wolfson's tutelage.' The Wordsworth Circle
