Portrait of John Keats
First draft of "La Belle Dame" contained in a letter to George and Georgiana Keats, composed spring of 1819.
"Woodhouse #2," which, despite its number, came before "Woodhouse #1." Richard Woodhouse assembled this edition of Keats's poem by synthesizing several previous editions of the work, including those of Charles Brown and Leigh Hunt.
"Woodhouse #1," published after "Woodhouse #2." This particular item shows some important differences in the employment of quotation marks from the previous edition.
"La Belle Dame Sans Mercy," in Leigh Hunt's The Indicator (10 May 1820). This is the only edition printed and publically distributed during Keats's lifetime.
Norton Anthology of Poetry version of "La Belle Dame Sans Merci." Notice the footnote, which claims that the editors are re-printing an "earlier" and "widely preferred" version of the poem.
Charles Brown's manuscript of "La Belle Dame" is widely regarded as best representing Keats's original intentions.
Jack Stillinger's edition of the "La Belle Dame." It likely is the most widely circulated of all versions.
