Diverse Journeys: Free-Writing, John Keats, And The Teaching Of Poetry, Patrick G. Scott

Patrick Scott

Reports on teaching John Keats's poem "La Belle Dame Sans Merci," using timed and cued freewriting as a preliminary to class discussion, and links the exercise to passages from Keats's letters about reading and personal literary response. At time of publication, the writer was not provided with proofs of the article, so the version linked here has handwritten corrections added.
