description: In November 1817, John Keats wrote to Benjamin Bailey, The imagination may be compared to Adam's dream - he awoke and found it truth. The Romantic poet's concept of the imagination was central to their poetry, becoming a persistent and powerful theme central to many works. In nine new essays by scholars commissioned in honour of Walter Jackson Bate, this collection examines the uses of the imagination in the poetry of Keats and Coleridge, and by extension in all Romantic literature.
