Events

* John Keats falls in love with Fanny Brawne (1800-65) and writes some of his finest poetry—the period from September of this year to September 1819 is often referred to among Keats scholars as the Great Year, or the Living Year ("see 1819 in poetry")

* March 12—Percy Bysshe Shelley and family, along with his sister-in-law Claire Clairmont, mother of Loyd Byron's child, leaves England for the Continent, reaching Milan April 4 and visiting the Italian lakes. In June they move to the Bagni di Lucca, where Shelley translates Plato's "Symposium", writes "On Love," and completes "Rosalind and Helen". In August, they move to Este, near Venice to be closer to Lord Byron; there Shelley begins "Prometheus Unbound." Their daughter Clara dies September 24 and the Shelleys visit Venice October 12&ndash31, then travel to Rome and Naples, where they remain until February 28, 1819.
