"The
grandeur
of
the
ode?'
-John Keats
An eminent critic of-poetry reinterprets
• the central poems ofKeats's career. This radical
readi~g
.
argues that the famous odes, usually read separately, become
more profound and more complex when taken together.
.In Vendlers view, the odes are
a
sequence in which
Keats pursues an eloquent inquiry into questions ..
of philosophy, language, and aesthetics. .
