EP18 - The Numb Fingers | Keats, “The Eve of St. Agnes” (Part One)

Professing Literature

John Keats, “The Eve of St. Agnes” (Part One). The first of a two-part episode that considers John Keats’ gorgeous poem. Set in a dreamy medieval world of castles, blood feuds and esoteric folk rituals, Keats gives us a love story with some of the lushest and most opulent imagery in all of English poetry. However, we begin in a very different atmosphere marked by darkness, death and piercing cold.
We love hearing from all of you. Please email us at [e-mail].
