KEATS, John (1795-1821). Poems . London: C. & J. Ollier, 1817.
KEATS, John (1795-1821). Poems . London: C. & J. Ollier, 1817. Small 8° (174 x 106mm). Half-title, title with wood-engraved bust of Spenser. (Lacking the first blank A1.) Green morocco by Riviere & Sons, triple fillet gilt border on sides, spine with raised bands, lettered in gilt in one compartment, the others decorated in gilt with floral motifs, inner dentelles, top edges gilt, the others uncut (very lightly sunfaded, very faint brown stain on front cover). FIRST EDITION, the first of three books that Keats published in his lifetime. It was dedicated to Leigh Hunt and included the sonnet 'Written on the Day that Mr. Leigh Hunt left prison.' However, no one outside Keats's immediate circle was impressed by it, and the association with Hunt helped turn critical opinion against him as another member of the 'cockney school' of poetry. Ashley III, p. 9; Hayward 231; MacGillivray 1.
