Keats Room, Houghton Library
Fri., Dec. 18, 2009, 2 p.m.



In the autumn of 1818, the poet John Keats met a young woman named Fanny Brawne. Despite obstacles — both financial and tubercular — Keats and Brawne fell in love. Their relationship inspired some of Keats' best known works, along with some of his most poignant and beautiful letters. A new exhibition at the Houghton Library explores their relationship and its legacy, and includes a selection of Keats' letters to Brawne, a lock of Brawne's hair, Oscar Wilde's response to the 1885 auction of Keats' love letters, and more.
