Story Plot

Biopic. Both poetic differences and class conflicts contributed to the clash between entitled English aristocrat Lord Byron and working-class John Keats. Byron's poetry adhered to classical tradition and was a hit with contemporaries, while Keat's lush verse was greeted with little fanfare from critics. The snobbish Byron had little time for Keats while Keats harbored intellectual disdain for Byron.
