Sinopse

John Keats's "The Complete Poems of John Keats" is a profound collection that showcases the poet's mastery in evoking beauty, nature, and the human experience through rich imagery and emotive language. Embracing the Romantic literary style, Keats employs sensuous detail and lyrical beauty, often exploring themes of transience, love, and mortality. This compilation includes iconic works such as "Ode to a Nightingale" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn," which reflect his philosophical musings and emotional depth, emerging from a context of turmoil and personal tragedy, including the loss of loved ones and his own health struggles. John Keats (1795-1821) was a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement, profoundly influenced by the artistic revolutions of his time. His brief but intense literary career was shaped by an acute awareness of beauty and suffering, which deeply permeates his poetry. Keats's engagement with classical themes and his passionate exploration of the senses speak to his desire to capture the ephemeral moments of existence, heightened by his own transient life. This collection is a must-read for anyone seeking to delve into the emotional landscapes of human experience. Readers will find Keats's uniquely intimate connection with nature and profound existential inquiry both timeless and resonant, inviting deep reflection and appreciation for the delicate balance of beauty and sorrow in life.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    From the point of view of the Western World, deep and eternal knowledge of mankind’s beginnings, its spirit, its reason to simply be was always waiting to be discovered and sampled in the far-off lands of the Mystic East.  These 10 Poets and their verse demonstrate just why that is.

    The Poetry of James Russell...

    James Russell Lowell was born on 22nd February 1819 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 
     
    Lowell graduated from Harvard in 1838, and thence on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School.  
     
    His literary life began in 1841 with his first published collection of poetry.  Three years later he married Maria White and they had several children although, sadly, only one was to survive childhood. 
     
    A consuming issue at the time was the abolition of slavery.  Lowell was a staunch supporter even going so far as to move to Philadelphia to edit an abolitionist newspaper.  His poems were fully in support of Emancipation and the ending of this terrible abomination.  His later views were milder and came in for some criticism.  
     
    His publication in 1848 of the long poem ‘A Fable for Critics’, satirising the poets and critics of the then current poetry scene caused an uproar.  That same year came ‘The Biglow Papers’, which increased his fame and his finances.  His use of the Yankee accent in his character’s dialogue was an inspiration for many. 
     
    Maria died in 1853 and Lowell decided to travel to Europe for some time before returning to Harvard to take up a professorship of languages.   In 1857 he re-married and also took on the editorship of that key periodical ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ whilst continuing to teach at Harvard. 
     
    Lowell wrote and published poetry and essay collections throughout his literary career and is acknowledged as one of the ‘Fireside Poets’, a group of New England poets that rivalled the popularity of British poets.  Their work was not controversial and suitable for whole families to enjoy hence their name and appeal.  Whilst Lowell’s own work does not now attract the same praise as his then contemporaries, he was their equal. 
     
    Towards the end of his life Lowell was appointed as ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain and later to the Court of St. James's.  
     
    His last years were a return home to his estate in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  By the summer of 1891 doctors had diagnosed cancer in his kidneys, liver and lungs.  There was nothing that they could do except prescribe opium for the pain. 
     
    James Russell Lowell died on the 12th of August 1891 on the Cambridge estate where he was also born.  He was 72.

    The Man Who Had All the Luck is a charming story of the fate of a young Midwestern man whose fortune shines on him while it passes over everyone else around him. The play wrestles with the unanswerable - the question of the justice of fate, and how it is that one man fails and another, no more or less capable, achieves some glory in life.
