The poet in Ode To A Nightingale is an escapist .He
escapes through imagination .On his way the bower of the bliss wher the nightingale is
singing in full-throated -ease , , and returning from the same , he employs Medieval
ism and Hellenism .The references of Ruth , emperors and clowns and magic casement
opening in the foam , speak of Keats' love for the middle ages . Again Keats had
fascination to Greek arts and culture .The installations like , Flora and country green
festivals , Bacchus and his parade , light winged Dray ad of trees , etc vivify the
poet's love for the ancient Greek -life .
Medieval ism and
Hellenism are the two major branches of Romanticism .
