Majestic Indolence: English Romantic Poetry and the Work of Art
Spiegelman examines the theme of indolence-- both positive and negative--as it appears in the canonical work of four Romantic poets. He argues for a renewal of interest in literary formalism, aesthetics, and the pastoral genre. Wordsworth's "wise passiveness," Coleridge's "dejection" and torpor, Shelley's pastoral dolce far niente, and Keats's "delicious...indolence" are seen as individual manifestations of a common theme.

The Dome of Many Coloured Glass
The Dome of Many Coloured Glass contains sonnets and lyrics, chiefly reflective and contemplative, somewhat remote and approaching a tonal twilight, but rhythmic in quality.
Amy Lowell (1874—1925) entitled her first book of poems A Dome of Many- Coloured Glass (1912), a phrase taken from Adonais, Shelley's elegy for Keats. Heavily influenced by Keats's poetry (whose biography Lowell was to write late)
Rome, the eternal city, boasts a long and rich literary history with strong connections to the English Romantic poets Keats and Shelley, as well as Stendhal, Goether and Henry James.
Romantic poet, John Keats was only 25 when he died of tuberculosis, but his work has achieved canonical status. Poet and critic Matthew Arnold said of Keats, "In the faculty of naturalistic interpretation, in what we call natural magic, he ranks with Shakespeare." Keats' more recognizable poems include "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and "Ode on Melancholy." Updated with all-new, full-length critical essays selected by Harold Bloom, this volume will draw students into an in-depth study of the brilliant young poet.

John Keats (born 31 October 1795 – died 23 February 1821) was an English poet, who became one of the key figures of the Romantic movement. During his very short life his work received constant critical attacks from periodicals of the day, but his posthumous influence on poets such as Alfred Tennyson and Wilfred Owen would be immense.
