About the Book:Keats?s poetry shows a clear movement and progression from his liking for a life of sensations to his liking for a life of thought. The same development of progress of thought may be seen in the Odes that show Keats?s poetic power at its best and reveal him as one of the great poets of English literature. Even within the limited compass of the six Odes one easily perceives a clear movement from a liking for a beauty that is predominantly sensuous to a calm acceptance of a beauty that blooms and fades in the course of nature. Seen in the light of Grammatical, Stylistic and Morphological frameworks, ?Darkling I Listen? ? Diction in the Odes of Keats shows the variety, richness and high suggestive power of Keats?s genius. The Odes, rightly celebrated as masterpieces of poetic art, also reveal Keats as a master craftsman. About the Author: Mukesh R.
