Dear fellows,
As the most of you I'm a keatsian admirer, my name is Oriol, and I'm from Catalonia("Spain"), despite being in my 18s, I do declare myself a romantic(in the movement sense). Although my mother tongue is catalan, I voluntarily try to read, annotate and in a certain mesure live in English. That is why I've chosen Keats, one of my favourites, as a subject of my end-of-year research.
Although I idyllically thought that I could translate of his poems to catalan, my teacher dissuaded me from doing it, and suggested me that I comment some of the translations already done in catalan.
So this is my question, which poem would you prefer or would describe more accurately Keats's style? "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" or "Ode to Autumn"
I initially wanted to do "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" as it's a poem that I insanely love, however while surfing the internet I've found that there's a lot more information about "Ode to Autumn", so I thought "it's up to my fellow Keats experts!".
PS: I'm looking forward to buying a pair of books on Keats, which would you recommend me? I've chosen:
Keats(Arco literary critiques), Keats and Embarrassment and Keats: a Collection of Critical Esays.
Thank you very much!
