Was John Keats MURDERED? By his FIANCEÉ?!?
No.
He died of consumption AKA tuberculosis. But for decades after his death a pervasive belief persisted; one that implicated his fiancée, Fanny Brawne, in his premature death. Brawne’s role in Keats’s final days was frequently scrutinised and often maligned, both by the poet’s friends and by literary critics writing towards the end of the Victorian period.
But why? Was there, indeed, no smoke without fire? Or was Brawne the victim of a patriarchal literary institution that vilified her in an attempt to ‘protect’ Keats? Watch our latest video to find out.
