This paper examines the relationship of Keats's version of Romantic literature in comparison to the general form that the Romantic literary form took in the works of his contemporaries. It contends that while Keats was romantic, he was not fawning over childhood fairy tales in the same manner as his contemporaries. Instead, Keats combined a sense of the past (archetype) and an awareness of the future (Industrialism) and saw that they were in many ways reflections of each other - the more things changed, the more they stayed the same. 4 pgs.
