Keats and Romantic Celticism

Exploring the impact of Celtic culture on John Keats, this book delves into the influence of Druidism and Celtic folklore on his poetry. Christine Gallant highlights over two hundred and fifty traditional folklore motifs related to faeries present in both his major works and lesser-known letters. By examining these connections, the book reveals how early Celticism shaped Keats's creative vision, predating the Irish Literary Renaissance and enriching our understanding of his literary contributions.
