Shelley was a radical poet and identified heavily with leftist politics and ideals; he was also married to Mary Shelley known for her gothic literature Frankenstein in particular. John Keats's poetry evoked heavy themes of nature and he often used natural imagery and extreme emotion in his works. Tragically both Shelley and Keats died young Shelley during a shipwreck at age thirty and Keats of tuberculosis at only age twenty-five.
