Abstract This article argues that Keats’s visits to the Isle of Wight in 1817 and 1819 were key to his imaginative development. Eighteenth-century and Romantic-period travel literature reveal the island’s importance as a picturesque destination rivalling the English Lakes. The medical endorsement of sea-bathing added to its popularity, while the sea itself had recently become an object of aesthetic appreciation. Keats’s strong attachment to the sea is event in ‘On the Sea’ and Endymion, which he began on the island. Keats’s letters chart his changing relationship to the solitude and beauty the Isle of Wight offered him.

樱草岛：济慈和怀特岛

摘要 本文认为济慈在 1817 年和 1819 年访问怀特岛是他想象力发展的关键。十八世纪和浪漫时期的旅行文学揭示了该岛作为风景如画的目的地的重要性，可与英国湖泊相媲美。海水浴的医学认可增加了它的知名度，而海洋本身最近也成为了审美欣赏的对象。济慈对大海的强烈依恋是他在岛上开始的“在海上”和恩底弥翁中的事件。济慈的信件描绘了他与怀特岛为他提供的孤独和美丽之间不断变化的关系。
