John Keats: the Posthumous Life

on BBC Radio 3

"I have an habitual feeling of my real life having passed, and that I am leading a posthumous existence."
Born 200 years ago, Keats remains the archetypal romantic poet, with his brief flowering of greatness snuffed out by a tragic death. Each generation in the 175 years since he died has invented a different John Keats. How have they changed? What is ours? With commentary by Marilyn Butler , Andrew Bennett , Christina Gee ,
Andrew Motion and Nicholas Roe , and Anthony Hyde as Keats. Repeat
