Introduction
The John Keats Bicentennial Conference, held at Harvard University on September 79, 1995, was the most ambitious of many commemorations organized throughout the world to celebrate the two-hundredth anniversary of Keats's birth. Other events included local scholarly conferences in places ranging from Tokyo to Pretoria, the publication of books and special issues of journals, poetry readings, concerts, dramatic performances, television and radio programs, church services, wreath-layings, and a number of birthday parties of varying degrees of solemnity. In this miscellany of tributes one found a predictable commonality of pleasure in recalling the story of a young man without the advantages of birth, wealth, or education who made his way by talent and desire to a place among the English poets. There was also a common tendency to turn Keats's story into a celebration of the art of poetry itself, of its persistent vitality, its continuing power to bring delight and comfort in our fragmented, distracted postmodern culture.
