This paper addresses the theme of Keats and place in which I mainly focus on the issue of Keats and no place. The existence of ‘no place’ is a key element in the poetry of John Keats. One of the obvious manifestations of ‘no place’ is the use of the term ‘nothingness’ which occupies a particular symbolic significance in his works. The current paper investigates the way Keats views and represents the abstract concept of nothingness. I argue that Keats’s poems show evidence that the poet featured nothingness concretely as a place which is characterized by emptiness and void where things fall and disappear forever. The abstract state of ‘nothingness’ is represented as a hateful and undesired destination that the poet does not want to be placed in. The paper focuses on the representations of nothingness in three selected poems: “Sleep and Poetry”, “Endymion” and “When I Have Fears” respectively. In these poems, Keats constructs nothingness as a ‘locus’ which is associated with negativity and passivity. My paper suggests another possible reading of Keats’s poems in relation to the themes of place and space. The study is the first of its kind in regard to the depiction of nothingness in Keats. |
