Abstract

Sonnets of John Keats conveys range of his interests, his concerns, his attachments, and his obsessions which are replete with a sensuous feeling for nature that looks back to Wordsworth and forward to Frost. They also luxuriate in the spaces of imagination and trigger the daydreaming capacities of the mind. Keats experimented with the fourteen line genere when he was eighteen and wrote overall sixty four sonnets from 1814 to 1819. He was born in the age when fourteen lines revival was in its full bloom, that had fallen into disfavour and disuse in the latter half of the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth centuries.
