ABSTRACT
I found him as full of interesting conversation as ever. He told me, for instance, that he considered it possible that John Keats on the occasion of his landing at Lulworth, at the time he composed his last sonnet, may have gone to visit relations at a village called Broadmayne which lies between Dorchester and Winfrith, quite some distance inland.1 He himself, he said, remembered people of the same name who lived in this village and were stablemen like Keats’ own father, one of them, so he asserted, born about 1800, being remarkably like John Keats in appearance.2
