The 2016 Keats Foundation Keats House Lecture

On Tuesday 6 September 2016, Bob White presented the annual Keats Foundation Lecture at Keats House, Hampstead. The Chester Room was crowded as Bob gave a brilliant lecture on Keats’s responses to Shakespeare’s plays and poems.  He showed  how Shakespeare’s poetry was creatively used by his greatest admirer, and examined three letters  where Keats’s quotations and allusions are especially revealing of his characteristic modes of thinking. A full transcript of the lecture will be published here soon.
