Download or read book Joseph Severn A Life written by Sue Brown and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of Joseph Severn (1793-1879), the best known but most controversial of Keats's friends, is based on a mass of newly discovered information, much of it still in private hands. Severn accompanied the dying Keats to Italy, nursed him in Rome and reported on his last weeks there in a famous series of moving letters. After Keats's death in relative obscurity, Severn pressed hard for an early biography and a more fitting memorial in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. In the nineteenth century Severn's friendship with Keats was seen as a model of devoted masculine companionship and he was reburied by popular acclaim next to Keats in 1882. In the twentieth century, by contrast, he was denigrated as an unreliable, self-promoting witness. Sue Brown's book fills a major gap in studies of Keats and his circle. It reassesses Severn's character, friendship with Keats, and influence on the posthumous development of the poet's fame and provides new information on Keats's death. The significance of Severn's artistic career has previously been downplayed. This book offers the first full assessment of his work and of his turbulent spell as British Consul in Rome from 1860 to 1871. Keats was not Severn's only famous friend. For most of his adult life Severn was at the heart of the large, lively British community in Rome welcoming amongst others Gladstone, who became his most important patron, Ruskin, Walter Scott, Wordsworth, Turner, Samuel Palmer, David Wilkie, and many more. He maintained long friendships with Leigh Hunt, Mary Shelley, Charles Eastlake, Richard Monckton Milnes, amongst others, and enjoyed a rich family life.

At the time, he dreamed of marrying a rich, handsome man and spending his honeymoon in the Caribbean islands. On the other hand, as time went by, part of his family, as mentioned above, entered the process of conversion to Christianity, where first his mother and then part of his sisters. Anyway, in the face of all this movement that began with his family, it could be said that it was already God s work; In fact, there was already a kind of pride about Moza s life, if not an excessive conjuncture of the false appearance of grandeur, so the feeling of contempt for family and friends became apparent, since she only wanted to be close to people that had a better financial condition. During this period, Moza had been working for some time in a company called - Duarte & Representações Ltda. “DUCOR”, however, his behavior became such a boundless and unprecedented vanity, rose to his heart more than arrogance and arrogance, something much greater, because his particular world was only a small closed cycle of less of ten people, which could not be called friendship. But Moza also observed that one by one of his family members were converting to the Gospel of Christ. Thus, when she is at home, living together becomes increasingly difficult with her family, that is, both the sisters and her mother, because, constantly, during domestic or personal chores, gospel music was common”. And also sang along, and that would make Moza apparently angry and angry, first, because she didn t accept it, and second, because he believed it was a way to provoke her. So, motivated by the cause of the indifferent situation, Moza decided to spend as little time as possible at home, choosing, therefore, when it came to Fridays, that is, after the end of working hours used to schedule several outings with her friends from the most often Benair and Manair.
