Advance praise for Bright Star, Green Light ''Keats was Fitzgerald''s guiding star . An energetic and highly engaging game of literary ping-pong across the ages. Life, writing and inspiration are served and returned in a rapid rally of ideas . What an immensely charismatic pair they are . Powerful . Go now, read this book'' Laura Freeman, The Times ''A daring, dizzying attempt to connect Keats and F Scott Fitzgerald has plenty to take pleasure in . Bate, whose recent biography of Wordsworth I admired, is at his best when he zeroes in on the work: his feeling for it, by being so exacting, is infectious, especially in the case of Keats . But in the end, the principal achievement of this pairing is to remind us of the way that literature connects us'' Rachel Cooke, Observer ''With a fine-tuned ear for poetic language, a master-biographer''s eye for the revealing detail, and an astonishing mental filing system that recognizes countless meaningful matches among the works and lives of these two great, doomed writers, Jonathan Bate has written a wonderfully illuminating and moving book'' Robert Watson, Distinguished Professor of English, UCLA Praise for Jonathan Bate''s Radical Wordsworth (2020) ''An entertaining biography .

Excellent, intellectually rousing'' The Times ''This new book, like everything Bate writes, richly repays reading . He is illuminating on the sources of Wordsworth''s nature worship . He carefully and persuasively re-examines the effects of the revolution on Wordsworth . Bate shows that it was Wordsworth who inspired the founders of the National Trust . It is hard to think of another poet who has changed our world so much'' Sunday Times ''A bold and bracing account, masterful with its material, patiently brilliant in reading the poems, and gloriously convincing about its subject''s social significance'' Daily Telegraph ter-biographer''s eye for the revealing detail, and an astonishing mental filing system that recognizes countless meaningful matches among the works and lives of these two great, doomed writers, Jonathan Bate has written a wonderfully illuminating and moving book'' Robert Watson, Distinguished Professor of English, UCLA Praise for Jonathan Bate''s Radical Wordsworth (2020) ''An entertaining biography .
