jan 1, 1818 - Endymion
Description:
The long narrative Endymion poem by Keats is presented in four books, each consisting of about 1,000 lines. It is told from the perspective of Endymion, who searches for his beloved, the moon goddess, who Keats renames Cynthia. The poem's emphasis on aesthetics, beauty, nature, and Greek mythology are signature characteristics of Romantic poetry. In Endymion, Keats captures the sensual human elements and troupes used during this period, emphasizing the human experience and connection to nature. These qualities were representative of Romanticism, as opposed to the logic and skepticism of the Enlightenment.Added to timeline:
