ABSTRACT
Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864), essayist and poet. Although his taste had a strong classical bias (Extract (d)), and although he avoided Shelley when both were living in Pisa, Landor came to have a great admiration for the new Romantic poets. His insistence on Keats's affinities with Chaucer is especially interesting, and it is a pity he nowhere develops the comparison in greater detail.
