John and George KeatsMan of Genius and Man of Power, to use Johns wordsembodied sibling forms of the phenomenon we call Romanticism. Georges 1818 move to the western frontier of the United States, an imaginative leap across four thousand miles onto the tabula rasa of the American dream, created in John an abysm of alienation and loneliness that would inspire the poets most plangent and sublime poetry. Denise Gigantes account of this emigration places Johns life and work in a transatlantic context that has eluded his previous biographers, while revealing the emotional turmoil at the heart of some of the most lasting verse in English.In most accounts of Johns life, George plays a small role. He is often depicted as a scoundrel who left his brother destitute and dying to pursue his own fortune in America. But as Gigante shows, George ventured into a land of prairie fires, flatbottomed riverboats, wildcats, and bears in part to save his brothers, John and Tom, from financial ruin. There was a vital bond between the brothers, evident in Johns letters to his brother and sisterinlaw, Georgina, in Louisville, Kentucky, which run to thousands of words and detail his thoughts about the nature of poetry, the human condition, and the soul. Gigante demonstrates that Johns 1819 Odes and Hyperion fragments emerged from his profound grief following Georges departure and Toms deathand that we owe these great works of English Romanticism in part to the deep, lasting fraternal friendship that Gigante reveals in these pages.
