The self is both the starting and finishing point of the Romantic imagination, and it constructs its own labyrinth of human experience, through which the poets guide their readers. The Romantic imagination is arguably a medium through which poets try to discover and explore themselves as an individual. Fransız Devrimi ve Sanayi Devrim'inin hemen ardından yaşamış olmasına rağmen, 1 Bu çalışma ‚John Keats' Attitudes Towards Death and How He Copes with the Idea of Mortality‛ isimli yüksek lisans tezinden çıkarılmıştır. Öz John Keats (1795-1821) İngiliz Edebiyatının en önemli şahsiyetlerinden birisidir. These will be discussed under four headings: fear of death, the sorrow he feels at the passage of time, philosophizing and longing for death. This paper investigates John Keats' attitudes towards death as exemplified in his poetry and personal correspondance employing the textual analysis method. His tragic relationship with death was inevitably reflected in his poetry and personal correspondence, which ironically made him an immortal literary figure. Indeed, he died at a very young age, suffering unbearable pains. He himself had the same disease and knew that the same fate was awaiting him. He spent his time with his brother while he was languishing away day by day, which was at the root of Keats's perceptions on the nature of life and death. Afterwards, he witnessed the death of his mother and brother from tuberculosis. He was introduced to the reality of death with his father's death in an accident when he was a small child. Rather, in his works, he was fascinated with beauty and he resented the fact that beauty, like everything else, must die. However, unlike most of his contemporaries, he was not much interested in social and political problems of his age. He lived in the aftermath of the French Revolution and Industrial Revolution. John Keats (1795-1821) is one of the greatest literary figures of English Literature.
