His father was a stable keeper and would prepare horses and carriages for travelers, but died early on in Keats' life after falling off a horse and fracturing his skull.  He died when Keats was only 8 years old. After that, his mother remarried William Rawlings, but the marriage did not last long. The Keats children and John's mother, Frances, moved in with their maternal grandparents, but fell into more hardship after the death of France's father. ]]> 2018-04-17 13:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252572884 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252576938 John was educated as an apprentice surgeon to Thomas Hammond in 1811. 4 years later, he enrolled at Guy's Hospital in London in 1815, but he decided not to pursue a career in medicine because he had lost his excitement. Because this was a time before anesthetics, he disliked operating on patients. Instead, he decided to become a poet because he fell in love with Homer's Iliad.  ]]> 2018-04-17 14:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252576938 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252580148 John's first published work was "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer," and was published in the Examiner in 1817. During this time though, his brother began to show signs of consumption, a disease now known as tuberculosis. The disease ran in his family; his mother died of it nearly 7 years earlier. John spent most of the nest year caring for his brother until his death in 1818.  During his next year, he began working on his work "Hyperion," but also began showing symptoms of consumption. ]]> 2018-04-17 14:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252580148 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252587833 2018-04-17 14:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252587833 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588199 2018-04-17 14:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588199 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588445 2018-04-17 14:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588445 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588929 2018-04-17 14:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252588929 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252594343 Also in 1818, John met a woman by the name of Fanny Brawne when her mother moved in to the other half of the house John was living in called Wentworth Place. But their relationship seemed stormy and rough, which is believed to be caused by Fanny's flirtations with other men and John's jealousy. But despite this, at the end of 1818, they decided to marry and became unofficially engaged ]]> 2018-04-17 14:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252594343 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252600838 Sometime after deciding to marry Fanny, Keats fell into depression and his writings stopped for the time until late April of 1819, when John started to write his Odes: "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," "Ode on Melancholy," "Ode on Indolence," and "Ode to Psyche." These are arguably his best works, but some believe that his writing was simply a way for him to make money to marry Fanny. ]]> 2018-04-17 14:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252600838 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252961628 2018-04-18 12:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252961628 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252962709 In 1820, after his burst of creativity, Keats' work started to gain a positive feedback. But it was too late. By February of 1820, John Keats was coughing up blood and taking laudanum, a alcohol opium mixture prescribed as a pain killer. In September of 1820, he sailed to Italy in hopes that the warmer weather would prolong his life, but February 26, 1821, John Keats died at the age of 25. He died believing that he was a failure. But yet, almost as soon as he died, his works began to become increasingly popular and is now one of the most renounced romantic poets of his time. ]]> 2018-04-18 12:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252962709 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252963374 2018-04-18 12:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252963374 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252969851 2018-04-18 13:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/252969851 jacob_scheer https://padlet.com/jacob_scheer/ikncjx58xith/wish/255052567 http://online.infobase.com/HRC/Search/Details/35985?q=john%20Keats
