2016 offers the occasion for two celebrations – two hundred years after Keats’s first published poem, and four hundred after the death of his ‘great presider’, Shakespeare.

This lecture by Professor Robert White unites the two, reflecting on how Shakespeare’s words became an intimate part of Keats’s own modes of thinking. Organised in partnership with the Keats Foundation.

Free for members of the Keats Foundation.
