John Keats was born in London in 1795. He attended Clarke School in Enfield, England. Later he studied medicine but never practiced, as he wanted to be a poet. His first work was Poems in 1817; in 1818 he published "Endymion", a mythological poem. Some criticised "Endymion" because they were angry with Leigh Hunt who was also a writer and John Keats’s friend. Because of their criticisms Keats could not make much money from his poems. His last and best volume was published in 1820. He died of tuberculosis in 1821.
