Keats and Charles Brown’s Memoir: Was Keats’s Nightingale Really a Thrush?
ABSTRACT Charles Brown’s memoir of Keats, written long after his friend’s death, has attained mythic status. Key events have been reprinted verbatim in every biography since Milnes’s 1848 Life, Letters and Literary Remains and are still taken as gospel by readers and critics. Yet Brown’s famous account of the ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ is demonstrably fictional, in large part his own invention. Brown’s equally iconic account of Keats’s haemorrhage of February 1820 is also highly questionable, coloured by Brown’s need to place himself at the centre of the poet’s final months. If the biographies must now be rewritten, so be it.
