Cover of Hyperion a Fragment

Hyperion a Fragment

Hyperion is an unfinished epic poem by John Keats, the English Romantic writer who died young. Drawing on the old myths of the Greek Titans, it imagines a world in which the older gods have been overthrown and the new ones are still taking their place. The poem is left as a fragment, breaking off before its story is resolved, which gives it a sense of grandeur and loss. It is presented here as a classic work of verse, a reminder of how one of the period's most admired poets approached the ancient stories that fascinated his generation.
