Events

* The period from September 1818 to September of this year is often referred to among scholars of John Keats as "the Great Year", or "the Living Year", because during this period he was most productive, writing his most critically acclaimed works. Several major events have been noted as factors in this increased productivity: namely, the death of his brother Tom, the critical reviews of "Endymion", and his meeting Fanny Brawne. The famous odes he produced during the spring and summer of this year include: "Ode to Psyche", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on Melancholy", and "To Autumn". He also wrote the ballad "" (French: "the beautiful lady without pity").
