Keats'+Poetry

Romanticism’s focus on individual experience and celebration of beauty in art and nature informs his acceptance of isolation and suffering as inevitable enables Keats to counterbalance despair with affirmations of life and beauty in Nature in his own form of Pantheism and a sensual response to Nature and art which is the antithesis of materialism. Keats’ self analysis provides the dynamic energy for transitions between passivity, melancholy and a longing for escape to reaffirmations of the immediate and concrete life. Nature becomes an anthropomorphic figure of Greek myth such as Psyche who shares human characteristics. Sensory responses to objects provide the ‘dualism of the static object and dynamic effect. (Sandbank p. 52)
