THE POEMS OF 1818-1819
The most pregnant year of Keats's genius was that which dates roughly from the spring of 1818 to the spring of 1819, as one may readily see who scans the titles of the poems included in this division. The group here given, beginning with Isabella and closing with Lamia, includes, besides those poems and The Eve of St. Agnes, the great Odes, Fancy, and some of the notable Sonnets. The division, besides being a convenient one, seems almost logical and not merely chronological.
