Publisher Description
Percy Bysshe Shelley is one of the most revered figures in the English poetical landscape. Born on the August 4th, 1792, he has become rightly regarded as a major Romantic poet. Yet little of his work was published during his own lifetime. Publishers feared his radical views and the possible charges that would come against them for blasphemy and sedition. On July 8th, 1822, one month before his thirtieth birthday, his tragic early death by drowning robbed our culture of many fine expected masterpieces. But in his short spell on earth, he weaved much magic—and in this collection, Shelley’s words are alive with intent, meaning, and emotion.

About Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets and is regarded by critics as amongst the finest lyric poets in the English language. A radical in his poetry as well as his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition for his poetry grew steadily following his death. Shelley is perhaps best known for such classic poems as “Ozymandias,” “Ode to the West Wind,” “The Masque of Anarchy,” and others.
