Shelley A Voice Not Understood by Timothy Webb

£7.99

About this item

For many years biographers have persuaded critics to see Shelley as a gifted but immature lyricist whose poetry was as thoughtless and erratic as his life. The time has come for a full reassessment and Dr Webb, shows that we have to deal with a hardworking, well read and deeply committed personality fully capable of handling complex and challenging intellectual concepts in large scale works like Prometheus Unbound. This book is not a biography but a considered study of poetry as both politics and self expression, the politics of religion and his highly original use of Christian mythology, his search for positive principles in nature and the influence of Classical Greece. Many previously unpublished works, letters and notebooks have been used in this provocative and stimulating book, which should bring about a revolution in the study of English romantic poetry.
