Böcker av Percy Bysshe Shelley

It is in the works included in this volume that the recognizable and characteristic voice of Shelley emerges-unmistakable, consistent, and vital.

This one-volume collection contains five editions of poems and verse dramas from the final years in the life of the radical and visionary Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822). These are Prometheus Unbound (1820), Hellas (1822); The Cenci (second edition, 1821), Rosalind and Helen (1819), and Posthumous Poems (1824).

Edited by the historian Alexander Hamilton Thompson, this volume offers an introduction to the poetical works of Percy Bysshe Shelley. The selection, compiled and introduced by Professor Hamilton, are supplemented with extensive notes shedding light on the circumstances of the poems and elucidating the references, literary and otherwise, which proliferated Shelley's works.

In 1810, while still at Eton, Percy Bysshe Shelley published Zastrozzi, the first of his two early Gothic prose romances. He published the second, St. Irvyne; or, The Rosicrucian, a year later. These sensationalist novels present some of Shelley's earliest thoughts on irresponsible self-indulgence and violent revenge, and offer remarkable insight into an imagination that is strikingly modern. This new Broadview Literary Texts edition also brings together the fragmentary remains of Shelley's other prose fiction, including his chapbook, Wolfstein, and contemporary reviews both by Shelley and about his work.

This Second Edition is based on the authoritative texts chosen by the editors from their scholarly edition of The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

An anthology of the poems of Shelley arranged in chronological order of their composition. Each has a note of its general significance, footnotes elucidating any difficult points and a discussion of its meaning and occasion. Recent scholarship and criticism are also included.

Volume I of this critical edition of Shelley's prose includes the texts of the Irish pamphlets, the vegetarian essays, political writings and reviews, all written between 1811 and 1818. It also places the works in their political context and looks at the problems of dating the manuscripts.

Treasury of 37 well-known and representative poems by great Romantic poet includes "Ode to the West Wind," "To a Skylark," "Adonais," "Ozymandias," "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty," many more. Lists of titles and first lines.
