ABSTRACT
Keats, Poems (1817) and Endymion (1818); review by John Gibson Lockhart, Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, III (Aug. 1818), 519-524. The allusion to Haydon’s long hair (p. 520) matches the equally relevant allusions in other articles to Hunt’s style of dress and to Hazlitt’s pimples. The remarks on Keats are obviously an extension of “Z’s” attacks on Hunt. Lockhart’s literary taste fails him in part, but he purposely avoids mentioning or quoting Keats’s best poems.
