John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet known for his odes and poems about love and nature. He published three volumes of poetry in his short career, which lasted from 1817 until his death in 1821 from tuberculosis in Rome, Italy at age 25. His works were influenced by the Greek poet Homer and included famous poems like "Ode on a Grecian Urn" and "Ode to a Nightingale." Though his works sold poorly during his lifetime, he is now considered one of the greatest English poets.
