Sue Brown looks at how Keats's friends worked to remember him after his death.
Keats died convinced that he was a failure and asked his friends to ensure that he was forgotten. How did they, convinced of his genius, respond to this difficult charge? Sue Brown, author of a new biography of Joseph Severn, looks at the different ways in which Keats's best friend, Charles Brown, his publisher, John Taylor, his biographer, Richard Monckton Milnes, Severn himself and others like Leigh Hunt and Charles Dilke, responded to this painful legacy. After her talk, Sue Brown will be signing copies of 'Joseph Severn, A Life’ which is published by OUP.
