Even if intertextuality is a feature of most culturally ambitious poetry, the traditionalism of Keats’s work had long struck me, as it has others, as especially pronounced and significant—an attribute implicated in his sudden stride to greatness, a clue to the fundamental way he imagined. And I had long been dissatisfied with reigning conceptions of poetic influence, which framed it as a dark agon over poetic priority, an idea that seemed melodramatic and unconvincing even in the case of a poet willing, at least in one phrase in one letter, to associate Milton and death. My Keats is subject merely to passing moods of intertextual or class anxiety. His retentive memory resulted in phrases from his reading coming unbidden during the process of composition. But he invoked the British literary canon so persistently as he wrote because his writing represented a conscious effort to reclaim the canon for the alternate cultural and political values that he and his fellow Cockneys endorsed; so I came to believe and so this study contends. It should come as no surprise, then, that I depend on the important scholarship done on Leigh Hunt’s Cockney circle in recent years, or that the book refers repeatedly to Hunt, Hazlitt, Haydon, Reynolds, and at times even Regency journalism. My interest in Keats’s Cockneyism led also to related scholarship stressing the centrality and method of Romantic historicism, especially the tendency of historicist texts to interrogate their own modernity from a historical vantage point. As it drew on these resources, John Keats: Reimagining History came to argue that in Keats’s imaginative retrospection we witness his native bookishness  \nvi PREFACE  \ntaking strategically historicist form to become the vehicle of a cultural polemics, Keats’s means of engaging Regency political issues.  \nThis organizing argument comes accompanied by several recurrent motifs. One is a commitment to close reading, an approach virtually demanded by texts as ore laden as Keats’s most considered efforts.
