Keats House LECTURE: Tuesday, 6 September 2016
Robert White: ‘“I LOOK UPON FINE PHRASES LIKE A LOVER”: Keats’s Shakespearean quotations and association of ideas’
2016 offers the occasion for two celebrations – two hundred years after Keats’s first published poem, and four hundred after the death of his ‘great presider’, Shakespeare. This paper unites the two, reflecting on how Shakespeare’s words became an intimate part of Keats’s own modes of thinking in his letters and poems, partly evidencing the ancient ‘art of memory’ or ars memorativa, which was undergoing a revival in the Romantic period through the influence especially of Coleridge and Hartley.
Robert White is Chief Investigator, Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions 1100-1800, and Winthrop Professor of English at The University of Western Australia, Perth.
