Abstract

John Keats was an English Romantic poet born in the late 1700ʼs. Among his better known works are ʻOde on a Grecian Urnʼ and ʻOde to a Nightingaleʼ. Keats suffered a series of hemorrhages in 1820 and died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body such as the brain, kidneys, and spine.
