Description
volunteers bring you 8 recordings of To Autumn by John Keats. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for November 21st, 2010. To Autumn is the final work in a group of poems known as Keats's 1819 odes. He composed To Autumn after a walk near Winchester one autumnal evening. The work marks the end of his poetic career as he needed to earn money and could no longer devote himself to the lifestyle of a poet. A little over a year following the publication of To Autumn, Keats died in Rome. To Autumn has been regarded by critics as one of the most perfect short poems in the English language and it is one of the most anthologised English lyric poems.
