Severn is on a team of archaeologists digging at a site in the City of London, the oldest part of London, England.
Severn, who works for the museum's archaeological service, says the bag of coins was probably put inside a box beneath the floor of a home.
Severn decided to become an archaeologist as a boy, when his father told him "heavily embellished" tales of buried treasure.

 Érudit | RON n40 2005 : Scott : After Keats: The Return of Joseph Severn to England in 1838   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Severn’s visit coincided with an ebullient mood in London surrounding the coronation of Queen Victoria, which occurred on 28 June and which Severn attended (“the Sun shining on the Peeresses was the finest thing I ever saw”).
Severn was unable to accept all the offers but he did travel to Putney where he met Edward Trelawny, whose full length portrait, “full of force and effect,” he executed in a week.
Severn was concerned too that if he remained in England much longer he might become “fascinated with all the incense thrown in my way” and “be seduced away from my hard earnd and honest fame” (31 Aug.).

 Review: Joseph Severn edited by Grant F Scott | Review | Guardian Unlimited Books
The first significant collection of Severn's papers was published by William Sharp in 1892, and even though subsequent biographers have always doubted the accuracy of his transcriptions, and wondered about omissions, his Life and Letters has remained the standard text.
Severn's whine is the sound of someone asking for forgiveness, as well as sympathy.
This is why Severn remains likable, in spite of all the faults and weaknesses his letters put on display.

 Keats Artwork
That Joseph Severn painted another version of this miniature after Keats' death (and that this image of Keats inspired another painting by a later artist) suggests the idealization of Keats as the literary genius cut off in his artistic prime.
Joseph Severn drew this sketch of Keats as he nursed the poet just hours before Keats died.
Joseph Severn's rendition of Keats hearing a nightingale on Hampstead Heath was painted many years after Keats' death, again demonstrating the continuance of Keats' role as an artistic icon.

 Keats's Forgotten Friend -- Monday, Jun. 26, 1944 -- Page 1 -- TIME
The affection for Keats with which it is suffused, its portrait of the gentle, sturdy, unworldly, innocent and perceptive Severn, its wonderful picture of Severn's happy family life make it a biography as tender and moving as any in recent literature.
Severn was a kindly, religious, cheerful man with a spontaneous gift for admiration which, for the moment, focused on Keats.
Once Severn, who was himself ill (he had had typhus and a liver com plaint), came upon Keats during a hemorrhage and stumbled away to the stern of the ship, because the sight of so much suffering was unbearable.

In September, accompanied by Joseph Severn, a loyal friend and a painter who in joining the poet damaged his chances of winning a prestigious fellowship, Keats sailed to Rome, where he installed himself in a room overlooking the famous Spanish Steps, hoping to get well, soon preparing to die.
Keats is vividly portrayed, and, as the previous reviewer noted, Joseph Severn is given his due as the best person Keats could have had with him in his dying days.
Severn was a devout Christian, according to Walsh, and his life after Keats' death exemplified the Christian belief that if you give selflessly, you will receive...

 Marie Corelli’s Love Letters to Arthur Severn
A number of sources document Corelli’s love for Severn, which ran from obsessive infatuation via frustration to rage, once she realised that Severn did not return her passionate feelings.
But it is the real-life correspondence between Corelli and Severn, conducted between 1906 and 1917, which most clearly documents the author’s gradual development from the one stage to the other.
Corelli, probably in an outbreak of temper once the relationship had ended and when Severn did not comply to her demand to return her post, burnt all of his letters, and probably also those of Joan.
