John Keats
1795 CE–1821 CE · Poet · Moorgate, London (traditionally the Swan and Hoop)
John Keats was an English poet of the second generation of the Romantic movement, alongside Byron and Shelley. He was born in London in 1795 — traditionally at the Swan and Hoop livery stables in Moorgate, where his father worked, though his exact birthplace is not recorded. The eldest child of an inn manager, he was apprenticed to an apothecary-surgeon at Edmonton and then studied medicine at Guy's Hospital, qualifying as a licensed apothecary in 1816, before turning fully to poetry. His major work was composed in a brief span, chiefly the odes of 1819, including "Ode to a Nightingale," "Ode on a Grecian Urn," and "To Autumn," along with narrative poems and the unfinished "Hyperion." Suffering from tuberculosis, he traveled to Rome for the climate and died there in 1821, aged twenty-five.
