Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. First published in 1939, Walter Jackson Bate's seminal study of John Keats's "negative capability" remains the definitive account of one of the central ideas of Romantic poetics. At once genealogical and analytical, Bate traces the concept across a wide intellectual field-linking it to William Hazlitt's notion of "gusto," to William Shakespeare's dramatic impersonality, and forward to Henri Bergson's distinction between intellect and intuition. In Bate's formulation, negative capability emerges as a discipline of disinterestedness and imaginative sympathy: the capacity to relinquish the self and enter fully into the reality of another. Against the egotism and epistemic certainties of his age, Keats proposed instead a poetics grounded in openness-to "uncertainties, mysteries, doubts." Bate's study restores the full force of that challenge, revealing negative capability not as a passing remark but as a rigorous and enduring principle of artistic creation. This edition returns a foundational work to print, with a new introduction by the Italian poet and critic Maura Del Serra-and renews the truth of T. S. Eliot's judgment: that there is scarcely a statement Keats made about poetry that has not proved true. First published in 1939, Walter Jackson Bates seminal study of John Keatss negative capability remains the definitive account of one of the central ideas of Romantic poetics.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mind of the Romantic poet John Keats, analyzing his unique approach to art and his conception of the "poetical character." The author explores Keats's concept of "Negative Capability" - a quality he believed to be essential for great poets. This concept is rooted in the idea that true artistic insight comes not from logic and reason, but from a deep immersion in the world, an ability to empathize with all things, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty and doubt. The book examines the influence of other writers on Keats, such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and William Hazlitt, and how their ideas shaped his own poetic philosophy. Through insightful analysis of Keats's letters and works, the author traces the development of his artistic philosophy, highlighting the importance of personal experience, emotional intensity, and a profound connection to the concrete world. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of England's greatest poets and provides a compelling argument for the enduring relevance of Keats's insights into the nature of art and the human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
