Abstract

The article offers criticism on the poem "Ode to Psyche," by John Keats. The author discusses secularism and criticism of Christianity in Keats's work and analyzes the work in relation to the idea of the "genealogy of the secular." Specific topics include the idea of orthodoxy in the poem, the idea of Cockney classicism, and Keats's poem "The Fall of Hyperion." Also discussed are botanical, classical Greek, and natural historical themes in the poem.
