The Celtic Revival began more than a century before Yeats and the Irish Literary Renaissance. Keats and Romantic Celtism is the first book to consider the pervasive influence of period Celticism upon Keats's work, from the Druidism that underlies his unfinished epics to the Celtic-derived folklore that his poetry draws upon. Christine Gallant shows that more than two hundred and fifty traditional folklore motifs of the faerie fill his major poems, as well as minor epistolary ones that have been critically neglected.

'Gallant's Keats and Romantic Celticism offers the first full-length study of the subject, investigating the poet's deep affinity with the Celtic world and pursuing his allusions to faerylore in key poems that mark the various stages of his career.' - Grant F. Scott, The Wordsworth Circle'Her major achievement, however, lies in rereadings of the Hyperion poems within the context of the early Romantic recovery of the Celtic background that was to obsess Keats's later followers, and none more so than W.B. Yeats. As such, this is a valuable resource that pays further testament to this year's interest in matters of complex influence.' - The Year's Work in English Studies
