Synopses & Reviews
One of the finest poets of the English language, Percy Bysshe Shelley is known as much for his outstanding lyric poems as for his unconventional lifestyle. Works such as "Ozymandius," "To a Skylark," and "Ode to the Westwind" have been read and loved by successive generations; and so too a fascination with Shelleys short life has remained. Included in this new biography are extracts from Shelleys own writings which elucidate his extraordinary story.
