An anthology of Shelley's poetry and is part of the Macdonald Illustrated Classics Series No: 5
Percy Bysshe Shelley's life and creations vividly embody the spectrum of English Romanticism, showcasing exuberant elation alongside contemplative desolation. Themes of inner turmoil, defiance against norms, communion with nature, the might of imaginative vision and verse, the quest for perfect love, and an unrestrained, freedom-seeking spirit are all evident in Shelley's existence. These facets not only shaped his life but also endure through his prolific artistic legacy. His tragic demise at 29, marked by drowning, added to his legend, leaving an indelible imprint on the world, where his ideals and creative expressions continue to resonate.
