Abstract
Keats’s poems written in the years leading up to his annus mirabilis, 1819, frequently feature books, but those references and images vanish from his poetic production in 1819 and the subsequent publication of that verse in his 1820 volume. This essay attempts to account for that shift in his poetics by exploring Keats’s relation to his friend and mentor Leigh Hunt, proposing that this poetic shift attends Keats’s political departure from Hunt’s privatised, metropolitan imagination in favour of a more public and egalitarian poetics of dispossession.
