ABSTRACT
Keats, Poems (1817); review by Leigh Hunt, Examiner, June 1, 1817, p. 345; July 6, 1817, pp. 428-429; July 13, 1817, pp. 443-444. Hunt’s first notice of Keats’s volume again takes the form of a literary-historical disquisition on the rise of romantic poetry. Not until a month later did he have room in the Examiner to finish his suspended thought and actually discuss Keats’s poems. Hunt treats Keats’s individual images as isolated poetic beauties. There is certainly no hyperbolic praise from this patron of the author and dedicatee of the volume.
