The Oxford edition of the complete poetical works of Romantic poet John Keats (1795-1821), edited, with an introduction and textual notes, by bibliographer and literary forger Henry Buxton Forman (1842-1917). Forman, a bibliographer and antiquarian bookseller whose literary reputation is based on his bibliographies of Percy Shelley and John Keats, was revealed in 1934 to have been in a conspiracy with Thomas James Wise (1859-1937) to purvey large quantities of forged first editions of Georgian and Victorian authors.
