John Keats

Poems

De: John Keats

Narrado por: Douglas Hodge

Born in 1795, tragically dead of consumption by age 26, John Keats was one of the greatest English Romantic poets. During his brief life, he composed many poems and odes that are considered among the finest and most passionate ever written. Lush, sensuous, rhythmic, and surprising, they captivate the senses and fascinate the mind.©1996 HighBridge Company (P)1995 Hodder Headline Audiobooks

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Douglas Hodge modulates his voice beautifully to capture the slightly varied emotions of many poems." (Library Journal)

it's poetry

well it's nice and relaxing. Keats is one of those guys that is always thinking about nature and things like that.

No Table of Contents

This is nicely performed and a good audio if you just want to listen to the poems in the sequence performed and if you don't need to know which poem it is. There's apparently no table of contents, just "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2". I've studied Keats and I know many of the poems but not all of them. If you want to listen to one of your favorites, you'd have to listen to the entire audio and make a note of where your favorites start. No reflection on the poet (!) or the narrator, but whoever put the audio version together could have spent a little time to make it easier. Having said that, the price was right, so I guess I got what I paid for!

The Best recording of John Keats

By far John Keats is my favorite poet. There are so many great poems in this one recording that it is difficult to pick a favorite. Why choose? It’s hard to believe such passionate genius created all these beautiful works before he died of tuberculosis at age 26. What more lasting wonders would he have created, if he had lived much longer. This recording of his poems is my favorite and read by a true devotee of Keats. Listen and experience the miracles of God as the Divine Spirit works through all individuals of genius to bring Glory to His Works. Gloria in Exselsis Deo. Enjoy, fellow wayfarer in your journey, to find your Creator and offer Him All Praise!

Superb

My favorite poetry recording, most listened to, most enjoyed - nothing makes me happier than well read Keats

Lyrical Quality of Spoken Poetry

It was heaven to hear this gentle poets’ words spoken aloud in true English form.

Useless…..not chaptered

Useless…..not chaptered

Cannot Choose what you want to listen to you can’t even find the poem….

Very shortsighted.

No Table of Contents

This is a book of poems, but you'll note that on this page there is no list of which poems are included. I bought it anyway; it was on sale and inexpensive. Looking. at the book in the Audible app, I am pretty shocked to find that there's no TOC in the book there, either, just "Chaper 1" and "Chapter 2." If I want to read Endymion, say, I don't even know if it's in this book, and if it is, how to get to it. Very disappointed.
