Keats
and Shelley House
Part of the Roman folklore, the Keats-Shelley House is
located near the Piazza Spagna, one of the neuralgic points
of the city. Tobias Smollett, George Eliot, Goethe, Coleridge,
Shelley, Byron, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Oscar Wilde
and James Joyce are some of the people who felt attracted
and inspired by this historical centre.
In the house, maintained as it was in the times when John
Keats travelled to Rome to spend his last months of life,
there’s an ample collection of objects and manuscripts
that celebrates the lives and works of Keats, Shelley
and Byron, as well as a complete library dedicated to
English Romantics, a manuscript of Oscar Wilde and correspondence
of Wordsworth.
