The Eve of St. Agnes is a narrative poem written by John Keats in 1819 and published in 1820. It tells the story of a young woman named Madeline who, on the eve of St. Agnes' Day, seeks to dream of her future husband. Her lover Porphyro, who is not favored by her family, sneaks into her chamber and they elope. The poem is a romantic tale of love and desire set in a medieval castle on a cold winter's night. Keats' use of vivid imagery and sensual language creates a dreamlike atmosphere and captures the emotions of the characters. The poem is considered to be one of Keats' finest works and a masterpiece of Romantic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
