‘Ripeness to the Core’: A Gerontological Reading of Keats’s ‘Ode to Autumn’
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In ‘Ode to Autumn’ Keats’s imagination is imbued with the ideas of organic growth and ageing. The images used in the first part of the poem reflect those ideas. A thorough gerontological study indicates that the process of development includes both reproduction and the post-reproductive phase of senescence. The last stanza of the poem with its melancholy overtones anticipates the winter of old age, decay and death.
