Sommario/riassunto |
|
This is a biography of Joseph Severn, Keats's best-known but most controversial friend, who is buried next to him in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. Severn accompanied the dying poet to Italy & was virtually the only witness of his last days. Sue Brown reassesses Severn's character & the nature of his friendship with Keats. |
