Keats in love
Feb 14th, 2012 by houghtonmodern
If you prefer your Valentine’s Day imbued with a bit of tragic Romantic poetry, we have the perfect treat for you. The Modern Books and Manuscripts department at Houghton is pleased to announce a new online exhibition:
“I shall ever be your dearest love”: John Keats and Fanny Brawne
An expansion of a popular 2010 exhibition in Houghton’s Keats Room mounted in conjunction with the release of the film Bright Star, this exhibition focuses on Keats’s star-crossed love affair with Fanny Brawne, the girl next door. The exhibition features a number of Keats’s love letters to Brawne and manuscripts of Keats’s poems inspired by his passion for her, along with other items associated with the couple.
