English Romantic poet John Keats was one of the leading figures of the second generation of Romantic poems, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Characterized by sensual imagery, most notable in a series of odes, Keats poetry has become some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. His most acclaimed works include Ode to a Nightingale, Sleep and Poetry, and On First Looking into Champan's Homer.
