A carefully edited edition of the complete poetical works of John Keats, prepared by H. W. Garrod, one of the twentieth century’s most respected Keats scholars.

This volume brings together Keats’s major odes, sonnets, narrative poems, and shorter lyrics—Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to a Nightingale, La Belle Dame sans Merci, The Eve of St. Agnes, and more—presented with scholarly notes and contextual material that help the reader understand text and variants without overwhelming.

Garrod’s edition is prized for its balance of textual fidelity and readable commentary, making it useful both for study and sustained reading. Keats’s language—rich, sensuous, and precise—comes through clearly, and the volume as a whole captures his range from youthful energy to meditations on mortality and beauty.
