How Did John Keats Influenced His Writing

John Keats lived his life with influences coming through death and destruction. One of the most powerful influences in his life was his childhood school John Clarks Academy. There he was introduced to literature by Reverend John Clarke. Clarke showed him different things about life and politics. Charles Cowden Clark, the reverend's son, was eight years older than Keats. As a mentor to Keats, Charles helped Keats develop his own personality. The death of Keats's mother in 1810 caused a great impact into his writing. The suffering of Keats as a man is seen all throughout his writings. Many of his writings speak of how people understand the most when they are at their lowest (Siemsen 1378). The move from Enfield to apprenticeship was taken hard
In 1814 Keats wrote "Lines in Imitation of Spenser". This was his first piece he tried to publish. They published it, but it wasn't a big success. Most were not that big of a success, but "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" took off in the market. Keats made wrote from stories and journals he had read. He took them to heart. With Leigh Hunt, he wrote fashionable romanticized poetry in the Examiner, a journal of the day. He would write this way for some time, but the works of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge caused him to leave the influence Leigh Hunt and write in a true romanticism form (1379). He published "Poems" to Blackwood's Magazine. They saw him and dismissed the collection due to him apparently being a part of Hunt's "Cockney School" of Poetry (Krueger 1). When his brother, Tom, died; it caused John to go into a depression (Siemsen 1379). Keats wrote and worked to get away from the world. He wrote, "Endymion: A Poetic Romance" during this depression. During his engagement to Fanny Brawne, Keats wrote many pieces (1379). Most of these were considered to be his greatest
He wrote to show his vision of truth. Keats used long vowels and alliteration to create a mental picture. He uses imagery and thought-provoking sounds and words to improve his works (Krueger 3). Keats continued the concept of "negative capability". William Shakespeare is seen by most to have written and lived his life in this way. Some of Keats's greatest poems embody the essence of negative capability. Keats wrote, "when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason". This explains that Keats showed pain and suffering with joy. He also wrote, "a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration". Keats knew the only way that could write is to have imagination and art to be greater than reality. Another piece showing that Keats saw beauty in all. "Ode to Nightingale" was written to show that beauty and ugliness must be one to truly thrive (Krueger 2). Keats uses the view of a mortal seeing immortality to create an ideology. Keats was sympathetic to mankind, but his sympathy was filled with pain (Krueger
