The article focuses on the book "Keats's Shakespeare: A Descriptive Study Based on New Material," by Caroline F.E. Spurgeon. A stone's throw from the English Seminar at Princeton, yet unknown to any Keats specialist, dead to Amy Lowell, her even, there has lain perdu for nearly half a century one of the most precious relics of any poet of former times, the set of the Johnson-Stevens edition of William Shakespeare which poet John Keats purchased in the spring of 1817 and gave to Joseph Severn shortly before his death. Spurgeon had the good fortune to learn of their existence and the initiative to arrange an interview with present owner, George Armour.
