I was watching the special features on the dvd, and the director mentions a biography that she read and found very useful about John Keats and Fanny. Does anyone remember who the author was? Thanks!

The book is by Andrew Motion.

Here's an interview Andrew Motion gave to The Guardian in Oct, 2009, about the experience of being a consultant on the film: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/oct/24/keats-jane-campion-bright-s tar

I tried looking for this, the only thing i found was "Keats" by Andrew Motion on amazon for a whopping $120?!? Seriously?

That copy on Amazon must have been a signed copy by the author. I looked on Ebay and they have a copy like new for $34.80 or "make an offer"

I have bought several books labelled "or make an offer" by making a lower offer and have always been successful, especially if it is a book dealer.

You can also post to Ebay to alert you if something you want is offered for sale and an email is sent to you so you don't have to keep checking back.
