ABSTRACT
Keats, Poems (1817); Edinburgh [Scots] Magazine, 2nd Series, I (Oct. 1817), 254–257. Note the critic’s distaste for poetry that exhibits “high raised passion and romantic enterprise” of “the famous poets of our time,” (p. 253) the “refinements of a metaphysical wit, or the giddy wanderings of an untamed imagination” (p. 257). In general this reviewer, like his colleagues, is tuned to the critical taste of the eighteenth century.
