Bright Star 2009

John Keats, the romantic poet, wrote the love poem Bright Star for his 18 year-old next door neighbour Fanny Brawne. This is the story of their first love. London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats, and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of fashion. This unlikely pair started at odds; he thinking her a stylish minx, she unimpressed by literature in general. It was the illness of Keats’s younger brother that drew them together.
