What do you all think of Keats. He is one of my favorites, but I know that some people have aversions to romantic writers. What do you all think?

I enjoy him very much but my personal favorite remains Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Most of the Keats that I know is from _Hyperion_ and _The Fall of Hyperion_ a pair of sci-fi books (it won a Hugo) by Dan Simmons. A real Keats fan might find the books intriguing, and there's quite a bit of theology jammed into the tomes, too.

Here's a too-shallow review:

A Coleridge man here, ever since my sister turned me on to the "Mariner". But I think Sir Walter Scott is more than OK.

I'll check 'Ambivalent', since I like his stuff, but I certainly rank Browning and Tennyson higher of his period.
