Monumentally Important Love Letter by the Illustrious Romantic Poet John Keats
John Keats, English poet (1795-1821). Autograph letter signed with his initials to Fanny Brawne. Single sheet, overall 8.75" x 7.25"; traces of sealing wax. No place, no date, but Hampstead, presumably February 1820. Signed, "J. K.," typical of such highly personal correspondence, which was hand-delivered and not sent through the mail. It was during the fall of 1818 while John Keats was nursing his brother Tom, who was suffering from tuberculosis, that John met Fanny Brawne. She was a close neighbor in Hampstead and she soon fell hopelessly and tragically in love with her. His relationship with Fanny had a decisive effect on Keats' development. Fannie seems to have been an unexceptional young woman, of firm and generous character, and kindly disposed toward Keats. But Keats expected more, and perhaps more than anyone could give, as is evident from his overwrought letters. Both his uncertain material situation and his failing health made it almost impossible for their relationship to run a normal course. After Tom's death, Keats moved into Wentworth Place with his friend Charles Armitage Brown; and in April 1819 Fanny and her mother became his next-door neighbors. In about October 1819 John Keats and Fanny Brawne became engaged. The letter was written about a year before Keats' death, in the same month that he was seized with the first overt symptoms of tuberculosis. His first attack of blood-coughing came after a cold night ride outside the coach from London to Hampstead, England, leaving him physically and emotionally prostrate. For six or seven weeks following the attack, Keats remained house-bound, affectionately nursed by his friend Charles Brown, but forbidden at first to see anyone else. As the Brawne family were neighbors, he was able to keep up a constant interchange of notes with Fanny throughout his illness. By the end of March 1820, he was able to get up again and, in July, see through the press
