review 1: While English Romantic is not my favorite genre of literature, I do appreciate it. It informs a lot of the architecture I came to appreciate, and the survival of abbeys and monasteries throughout the UK. In reading Keats' letters to Fanny Brawne and his contemporaneous poetry, it's fascinating how similar the themes are to alternative/emo/new romantic music lyrics. His passion and emotions are tangible, and I wildly prefer his letters to his poems for their presence and clever turns of phrase. A good starter kit for Keats and the Romantics. Not a bad companion to the film, either.
review 2: Very romantic...it's insane to think that there actually were men who wrote poetry like this to women at one time or another. The first half of the book (The letters to Fann... morey) were both touching and beautiful. The second half which were the best of his poems was wonderful as well, however I had to re-read most of it and look up a lot of the words since it is written in old English. The movie was very well done as well and Jane Champion gives a little intro in this book which helps to put things in perspective. If you are a fan of poetry, I suggest you read this book, but keep a dictionary handy. 8/10. less
