Reviews
'...Wootton's study goes further than others in unravelling the varied reasons for his pre-eminence. She rejects the simple explanation that Keats provided colourful historical subjects, contending that the image of the poet himself was as important to artists and painters as his work.' - Leonee Ormond - The Burlington Magazine
'...a fine and thought-provoking study.' - Christoph Bode, Zeitschrift fur Anglistik und Amerikanistik
'Consuming Keats is a worthy addition to a growing corpus of studies on the reception and posthumous construction of Keats, adding much of value to an important area of investigation.' - Richard Marggraf Turley, Byron Journal
'She [Wootton] makes an eloquent argument for the multiplication of critical Keatses...In a series of excellent readings of paintings of scenes from Keats's poems by John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt and others, Wootton shows how word and image combine to produce distinct versions of Keats.' - Year's Work in English Studies
