From the Back Cover:

Here, in this book, is a presentation of Keats's story: an account with pictures and in detail of his years as a medical student, his gift for friendship, his care for his brothers, and particularly for Tom whose death from tuberculosis preceded Keats's own, his walking tour to the English Lake District and into Scotland, his love, desperate, ecstatic and cut off by illness, and above all, his total and passionate commitment to poetry. Keats lived poetry: the reading of it, the writing of it. The Wordsworth Trust here places Keats's achievement within its cultural context with a special emphasis on the art - the paintings, the watercolours and the prints - that inspired him, and that he inspired.
