Lord Byron vs John Keats: Death, Rivalry & Poetry

The heated feud between John Keats and Lord Byron was a very real one. A rivalry, not dissimilar to that of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, in earlier centuries, there was no love lost between the young poets.

Two titans of the English Poetic tradition, Lord Byron and John Keats are shadowed by perhaps only Shakespeare in the world of English Literature. Leading figures of the Romantic movement, in the early 19th Century, along with Percy Shelley, they formed somewhat of a holy trinity in poetry and writing.
