ABSTRACT Many visitors in the nineteenth century to the grave of John Keats in Rome thought it ‘neglected’ or ‘solitary’ and ‘unshaded’. Today’s critics often characterize the grave as ‘marginal’, both literally and metaphorically, while ignoring the city authorities’ proposal to demolish it in the 1880s. An analysis of the grave’s original setting and its subsequent renovations suggests instead that it enjoyed a privileged position. Historical descriptions, when considered together with visitors’ accounts – a valuable source if used critically – and little-known artists’ depictions of Keats’s grave prompt a re-assessment of ideas of its ‘marginality’ and ‘neglect’ in the nineteenth century.

重访约翰济慈之墓

摘要 19 世纪，许多参观罗马约翰济慈坟墓的游客认为它“被忽视”或“孤独”和“无阴影”。今天的批评者经常将坟墓描述为“边缘”，无论是字面上的还是隐喻的，而忽略了市政当局在 1880 年代拆除它的提议。对坟墓的原始环境及其随后的翻修的分析表明，它享有特权地位。历史描述，当与访客的叙述一起考虑时——如果批判性地使用，这是一个宝贵的来源——以及鲜为人知的艺术家对济慈坟墓的描绘，促使人们重新评估其在 19 世纪的“边缘性”和“忽视”的想法。
