Notes John Keats's apprenticeship to Mr Hammond, an Edmonton surgeon, and his rapidly growing desire to cultivate his poetic skills rather than a medical career. Keats used his 'surgical knowledge' to diagnose his consumptive state and James Clark attended the poet 'throughout his fatal illness' (357). |
