Walking North with Keats

About this book

In 1818 when Keats was 22 years old he and his friend Charles Brown embarked on a 46-day walking tour through northern England Ireland and Scotland. This lovely volume consisting of three sections recreates Keatss tour. The introduction discusses Keatss circumstances and places his trip in the context of the social and political events of the time. At the center of the volume are some 150 photographs many in color taken by Walker as she retraced Keatss footsteps. Finally there are the (annotated) letters and poems that Keats wrote during the tour and the journal that Brown later published. 9.25x9" Annotation copyright Book News Inc. Portland Or.
