1 Keats – To Fanny and La Belle Dame Sans Merci LQ: Can I analyse and articulate how Keats presents unrequited love in To Fanny, La Belle Dame Sans Merci? Love: platonic, courtly, unrequited, godly, familial, illicit, adulterous, lustful Social Context: Enlightenment, revolution, Industrial revolution, Empire LIT TERMS: pentameter, alliteration, sexual language, Byronic ryhme, Byronic hero, rhyme scheme

2 Excellent progress: well-chosen quotations, literary devices analysed, effect on reader discussed, alternative interpretations considered and social context mentioned Outstanding progress: well-chosen quotations, sophisticated language used, literary devices analysed, effect on reader argued with perceptive points made, alternative interpretations revealed, developed consideration of social and historical context Love: platonic, courtly, unrequited, godly, familial, illicit, adulterous, lustful Social Context: Enlightenment, revolution, Industrial revolution, Empire LIT TERMS: pentameter, alliteration, sexual language, Byronic ryhme, Byronic hero, rhyme scheme Coleridge – Christabel LQ: How is homosexual love presented in Coleridge’s Christabel?

3 Love: platonic, courtly, unrequited, godly, familial, illicit, adulterous, lustful Social Context: Enlightenment, revolution, Industrial revolution, Empire LIT TERMS: pentameter, alliteration, sexual language, Byronic ryhme, Byronic hero, rhyme scheme Keats and Fanny Brawne

4 Love: platonic, courtly, unrequited, godly, familial, illicit, adulterous, lustful Social Context: Enlightenment, revolution, Industrial revolution, Empire LIT TERMS: pentameter, alliteration, sexual language, Byronic ryhme, Byronic hero, rhyme scheme On 3 April 1819, Brawne and her widowed mother moved into the other half of Dilke's Wentworth Place, and Keats and Brawne were able to see each other every day. Keats began to lend Brawne books, such as Dante's Inferno, and they would read together. He gave her the love sonnet "Bright Star" (perhaps revised for her) as a declaration. It was a work in progress which he continued at until the last months of his life, and the poem came to be associated with their relationship. "All his desires were concentrated on Fanny". From this point there is no further documented mention of Isabella Jones. Sometime before the end of June, he arrived at some sort of understanding with Brawne, far from a formal engagement as he still had too little to offer, with no prospects and financial stricture. Keats endured great conflict knowing his expectations as a struggling poet in increasingly hard straits would preclude marriage to Brawne. Their love remained unconsummated; jealousy for his 'star' began to gnaw at him.

In September 1820 Keats left for Rome knowing he would probably never see Brawne again. After leaving he felt unable to write to her or read her letters, although he did correspond with her mother. He died there five months later. None of Brawne's letters to Keats survive; he requested that her letters be destroyed after his death. It took a month for the news of his death to reach London, after which Brawne stayed in mourning for six years. In 1833, more than 12 years after his death, she married and went on to have three children; she outlived Keats by more than 40 years. The 2009 film Bright Star, written and directed by Jane Campion, focuses on Keats' relationship with Fanny Brawne.
