Dr. Kamran Javadizadeh on Keats's Letters

Dr. Kamran Javadizadeh today published an essay, "Improper Time," as part of The Keats Letter Project, an online series of essays on the epistolary writing of the Romantic poet John Keats. Each essay is about a single letter by Keats and is published along with the letter on the 200th anniversary of its original composition. Dr. Javadizadeh's essay reflects on the letter the poet wrote to his brother George, who had recently moved to America, informing him of the death of their younger brother Tom on December 16, 1818.
