Consuming Keats explores the impact of John Keats on authors and artists from the poet's death in 1821 to the end of the First World War. The study examines the work of authors including Shelley, Browning, Wilde, Hardy and Thomas Hall Caine, as well as the celebrated artists Holman Hunt, Millais and Rossetti, and other lesser-known figures. The study also includes tributes to Keats by women authors and artists such as Christina Rossetti, Alice Meynell and Jessie Marion King.
