14 February 2018 sees the publication of ‘Love is my Religion’: Keats on Love , published by and exclusively sold at the Keats-Shelley House in Rome.

The book brings together some of the most beautiful love letters and poems ever written, and are all from the pen of English romantic poet John Keats, whose life was cut tragically short at the age of twenty-five.

Keats's letters to Fanny Brawne, the love of his brief, intense life, and the poems inspired by her have been carefully edited by Professor Duncan Wu, a long-standing Trustee of the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association, while rock legend Bob Geldof provides an insightful preface.

All proceeds of this special book will go to the Keats-Shelley House in Rome, which receives no official funding from either Britain or Italy. The book will be available exclusively from our gift shop in Rome, or from our online gift shop http://www.keats-shelley-house.org/en/shop/books
