Horace Elisha Scudder was een productieve Amerikaanse letterkundige, die vooral gevierd werd om zijn boeiende kinderboeken en zijn vooraanstaande periode als redacteur van The Atlantic Monthly. Hij wijdde zich aan literair werk, schreef essays en een grote hoeveelheid journalistiek die vaak anoniem verscheen. Scudder ondernam ook belangrijke redactionele projecten, waaronder invloedrijke boekenseries en biografieën, waarmee hij zijn plaats als een opmerkelijke figuur in de Amerikaanse literaire kringen verstevigde.
John Keats lost both his parents at an early age. His decision to commit himself to poetry, rather than follow a career in medicine, was a personal challenge, unfounded in any prior success. His first volume of poetry, published in 1817, was a critical and commercial failure. This book tells his story.
