Keats’s early sonnets before 1817 have been ignored or the political implications in just a few of his early sonnets have been over emphasized by recent critics. Keats’s early sonnets, however, reveal their significance when we see how they establish the poet’s enthusiasm for poetry on the basis of various literary influences. This paper attempts to re-evaluate Keats’s early sonnets that gave the poet a convenient way to learn poetry and represent his early poetics, which was the driving force of the first major projects, ‘Sleep and Poetry’ and ‘I stood tip-toe upon a little hill’ in December 1816.
