John Keats Full Guide: Abstract Ideas and Direct Style

I would certainly agree that many of Keats’ themes are abstract in nature. However, Keats also presents ideas that are more concrete and connected to the real everyday existence. I would propose that his style isn’t always clear and direct. If anything, many aspects of his poetry require detailed examination in order to understand the depth of Keats’s work. He is a complex multifaceted Romantic poet whose mood takes him through a variety of structures, techniques and a range subject matters.
