Shelley

Excerpt from Shelley: An Essay
[The following Appreciation is taken from a Letter addressed by Mr Wyndham, after he had read the "Shelley" article in The Dublin Review, to the editor of that periodical, Mr Wilfrid Ward. The friends then permitted to read the Letter were inevitably eager to share with others their advantage; and the Literary Executor of Francis Thompson gratefully acknowledges Mr Wyndham's and Mr Ward's good will in granting his request that what was written as a private Letter should here stand in lieu of any more formal Introduction.]
I must now tell you that I have read Francis Thompson's Shelley more than once to myself, and once aloud.
For the moment I will say that it is the most important contribution to pure Letters written in English during the last twenty years.
