After reading last week about Keats and Brown's tour of Scotland and Ireland, I wondered if anyone had been to see places like Ben Nevis, Ailsa Craig, The Isle of Staffa, Fingals Cave and the Isle of Iona?
I've been to the Keats Shelley House in the Piazza di Spagna in Rome and was a bit underwhelmed - nothing wrong with it really but the prices they charged for stuff was criminal. I bought a mug with the Ode on a Nightingale written on it in Keats handwriting, a copy of the selected letters (ed. Gittings) and a paperweight of Severn's painting of Shelley composing Prometheus Unbound in the Baths of Caracalla. The guy there was very friendly and the whols place was full of interesting stuff, but it was just a wee bit disappointing that's all.
Has anyone been to see the Keats House in Hampstead? Is it worth a visit?
Does anyone else have Keatsian pilgrimages they would like to share with us?
