John Keats practically defines the term "Romantic." Not just in the literary sense, referring to a group of English writers working in the first half of the 19th century, but also in the more modern sense of a guy whose life is filled with drama and passion.

Austen's novels were the first literary works to acknowledge this complex dance of gender and social convention, in a way that was funny, perceptive, and realistic. With her elegantly crafted plots and characters, Jane Austen pretty much single-handedly rescued the novel from the trash heap of the literary world.

    I think it is difficult to compare them because they are such different kinds of writers. Jane Austen's style of writing is very elegant, restrained, dry and witty, with clever dialogue and strong characters. John Keats's poetry is very descriptive, very romantic, very intense. i think they are completely different.
