Here is an article that compares Bright Star and Keats' Ode to a Grecian Urn.

Note: the language on this webpage is quite informal, this is NOT an example of how you should write in your exam and assessments. It is just a resource to get you thinking about the connections and themes between the texts.

There is also an instructional video on the webpage. However, it is about 15 minutes in length. This would best be viewed after class in your own time.
