THE ALCHEMY OF ART: A STUDY IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE CREATIVE MIND OF JOHN KEATS

G. BRIAN SULLIVAN, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

From the time John Keats began Endymion (March 1817) until his abandonment of the second version of Hyperion (September 1819), we have thirty vital months comprising a span of development unparalleled in English literature. This dissertation focuses upon the central feature of that development--the evolution of the creative mind of the poet. I do not purpose another factual biography of Keats, but rather an exploration of the internal autobiography of the poet in self-genesis as this evolvement is impressed upon the symbolic structures of his works.
