ABSTRACT
Keats, Poems (1817); review by George Felton Mathew, European Magazine LXXI (May 1817), 434-437. Keats felt betrayed by this review by his early friend. Note the misquotation of the name Boileau. Mathew (for whose later sad career, see Hyder Rollins, The Keats Circle, II, passim) was politically conservative and religiously orthodox, disliking Hunt (p. 436). That Mathew was also a fool can be seen even more clearly in his review of Coleridge’s Christabel in the European Magazine.
