Abstract: RECENZJE 115 shortcoming and, to be honest, valid only for most demanding and often biased critical readers.A long list of recently published reviews of the book dispels all such worries as we read in them that Miller's monograph is "outstanding as Miller's knowledge of all things Keatsian is formidable" (Sunday Times), and as "a wittily perceptive introduction to (or reminder of) the poet and his work, her book is unlikely to be surpassed any time soon (Financial Times), and although "this excellent book enters an already crowded market of Keats biographies, but earns its place through its firm basis in precise reading" (Spectator), to observe finally that "Lucasta Miller's brilliant life of Keats, told through a close reading of nine poems and one epitaph [is] a timely and fresh re-appropriation of Keats satisfying, engaging and accessible" (New Statesman).Therefore, it is only to be desired that books of such intellectual caliber, filled with such an abundance of contextual data be written more often to satisfy the needs of both academics and admirers of (Romantic) poetry the world over.
