This paper reconsiders John Keats’s Endymion through Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of the chronotope and the author-hero relationship. It argues that the poem deliberately adopts the defining features of ancient Greek romance in three respects: a predominantly private and inward-oriented hero motivated by love, an expansive and interchangeable spatial field that enables continual wandering, and an “adventure-time” that produces no lasting biographical or developmental change despite the hero’s long journeys. At the same time, Endymion transforms this convention from within by foregrounding authorial consciousness. Through the heightened presence of the narrator, the poem introduces a dynamic oscillation between narrative immersion and Bakhtinian outsideness, allowing the hero’s experiences to be aesthetically organized and meaningfully reframed. The final episode of the Indian Maiden introduces a direct and irreversible experience, so that maturation emerges not from a predetermined reunion but from ethical choice and responsibility. Endymion thus appears not merely as a youthful apprenticeship but as a deliberate narrative experiment that reconfigures the limits of romance through authorial self-consciousness.
