Keats and Austen

From Toronto: all the Keats poems; the sonnet on the Elgin Marbles; the Urn; the sonnet on the four seasons; the ode called "To Autumn."

The British Museum's public information on the Elgin Marbles and the broader set of pieces from the Parthenon.

A few of those pieces: a sacrificial procession (with cow); horsemen.

Two sonnets by John Milton important to Keats' thinking about the sonnet as a form and about his own poetic career.

A meaning Keats could not have intended in "To Autumn," and yet an analogy for one of his lyric goals.

The only certainly authenticated sketch of Jane Austen, by Cassandra Austen (1810).

A nonacademic but comprehensive e-resource center for the study of Austen, including a quick biography.

The Cobb at Lyme, in a modern photograph. The stairs from which Louisa jumps.

An oddly placemat-like annotated map of Jane Austen's Bath. A proper map of Bath in her time (sans annotations).

The Jane Austen Society of North America, a helpful but nonacademic resource, and the Jane Austen Society of the UK, likewise.
