Présenter l’œuvre de Keats et en apprécier toute sa richesse nécessite aujourd’hui d’accepter ses contradictions et se pencher sur l’ensemble de la production du poète, si hétéroclite soit-elle, ou du moins d’en observer des exemples significatifs. C’est en analysant le lien entre les différents types de textes, la propension à mêler tons, genres et registres, qu’il est possible de cerner plus précisément l’identité et le fonctionnement de cette œuvre protéiforme. On parle souvent de développement, à juste titre, pour qualifier le cheminement artistique de Keats, et la critique s’est longtemps consacrée à l’observation de l’œuvre pour en dégager les évolutions stylistiques et thématiques. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de montrer le trajet qui mène soit de la lettre au poème, soit du poème à la lettre. Ainsi, chaque chapitre se penche à la fois sur la poésie et la correspondance, mais la singularité irréductible de l’un et de l’autre texte exigera, selon le moment, de consacrer plus d’espace à l’œuvre poétique ou inversement aux lettres. Ainsi seront identifiés, par cette approche comparative, les moments exacts où lettres et poèmes entrent en conversation, les instants où leurs voix se chevauchent ou se confondent, ainsi que ceux où elles se séparent.

"After the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination has become synonymous with an opaque biopower that legislates compulsory immunization at a distance. Contemporary illness narratives have become outlets for distrust, misinformation, reckless denialism, and selfish noncompliance. In The Smallpox Report, Fuson Wang rewinds this contemporary impasse between physician and patient back to the Romantic-era origins of vaccination. The book offers a literary-historical account of smallpox vaccination, contending that the disease’s eventual eradication in 1980 was as much a triumph of the literary imagination as it was an achievement of medical Enlightenment science. Wang traces our modern, pandemic-era crisis of vaccine hesitancy back to Edward Jenner’s publication of his treatise on vaccination in 1798, the first rumblings of an anti-vaccination movement, and vaccination’s formative literary history that included authors such as William Wordsworth, William Blake, John Keats, Mary Shelley, and Arthur Conan Doyle. The book concludes with a re-examination of the current deeply polarized and polarizing public discourse about vaccines in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. By recovering the surprisingly literary genres of Romantic-era medical writing, The Smallpox Report models a new literary historical perspective on our own crises of vaccine refusal."--

Keats mixed up Cortez and Balboa. Heaney misremembered the name of one of Wordsworth's lakes. Poetry - even by the greats - is rife with mistakes. This book gathers together for the first time numerous instances of these errors, from well-known historical gaffes to never-before-noticed grammatical incongruities, misspellings, and solecisms. But unlike the many critics and other readers who consider such errors felicitous or essential to the work itself, the book makes a compelling case for calling a mistake a mistake, arguing that denying the possibility of error does a disservice to poets and their poems.

In Last Looks, Last Books, the eminent critic Helen Vendler examines the ways in which five great modern American poets, writing their final books, try to find a style that does justice to life and death alike. With traditional religious consolations no longer available to them, these poets must invent new ways to express the crisis of death, as well as the paradoxical coexistence of a declining body and an undiminished consciousness. In The Rock, Wallace Stevens writes simultaneous narratives of winter and spring; in Ariel, Sylvia Plath sustains melodrama in cool formality; and in Day by Day, Robert Lowell subtracts from plenitude. In Geography III, Elizabeth Bishop is both caught and freed, while James Merrill, in A Scattering of Salts, creates a series of self-portraits as he dies, representing himself by such things as a Christmas tree, human tissue on a laboratory slide, and the evening/morning star. The solution for one poet will not serve for another; each must invent a bridge from an old style to a new one. Casting a last look at life as they contemplate death, these modern writers enrich the resources of lyric poetry.
