Hyperion A Fragment

By John Keats

Book Overview

Hyperion: A Fragment is a poetic work by the English Romantic poet John Keats. The poem is an unfinished epic that was published in 1820, a year before Keats' death. The poem tells the story of the fall of the Titans and the rise of the Olympian gods, with a focus on the god Hyperion. Keats uses vivid and elaborate descriptions to create a mythical world filled with gods, heroes, and monsters. The poem also explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the struggle between old and new orders. Despite being unfinished, Hyperion: A Fragment is considered one of Keats' most important works and a significant contribution to English Romanticism.Just at the self-same beat of Time's wide wings Hyperion slid into the rustled air And Saturn gain'd with Thea that sad place Where Cybele and the bruised Titans mourn'd.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
