Drawing of Enfield School

Keats was a pupil at Enfield School in Middlesex between 1803 and 1811. As a young boy he was famous for his ungovernable temper and for his prowess as a fighter. As he grew older, however, he developed a passion for reading, and after the death of his parents he benefited greatly from the liberal, family atmosphere that the headmaster, John Clarke, cultivated among the eighty or so pupils. The building was demolished in Victorian times, but the fine Georgian portico was preserved and later re-erected in the basement of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
