About this course

An introductory course to John Keats and his life and works. As this is an introductory course, we will cover some poetry techniques and how these are used by writers. No prior knowledge is necessary and all poems are provided by the tutor.

We will look at the life and background of Keats and how he fits into the world of the Romantic Poets. We will examine and discuss a selection of poetry focusing on his use of language to explore the themes of love and nature. During our classes we will look at a variety of techniques such as: rhyme, rhythm and alliteration. There will be an overview of the Romantic movement to help you put the writer into a wider context.

By the end of the course, you will:-

  • Feel confident about analysing poetry and outline how writers use different techniques in their work.
  • You will be able to describe the life of Keats and how his life influenced his work.
