Reflectivity of ‘Self’as a Poet- Critic: A Critical Study of Keats’ Selected Letters

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to focus on Keats’ potentiality not as a great poet but as a poet-critic. The self of poet-critic is well manifested in his letters where he has scrutinized his own writings with a neutral voice as well as the writings of other writers. Not only in writing, but also in social reformation, Keats has contributed much through his establishment of views in poetry against the traditional notion.
