Shelley

Shelley by Sydney Waterlow is a biography of the famous English Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The book explores Shelley's life, from his early childhood to his untimely death at the age of 29. Waterlow delves into Shelley's personal relationships, including his tumultuous marriage to Mary Shelley, his close friendship with Lord Byron, and his estrangement from his family. The book also examines Shelley's literary works, including his most famous poems such as ""Ozymandias"" and ""To a Skylark"". Waterlow provides a detailed analysis of Shelley's political beliefs and activism, as well as his influence on the Romantic movement. The book is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most important poets of the 19th century.The true visionary is often a man of action, and Shelley was a very peculiar combination of the two. He was a dreamer, but he never dreamed merely for the sake of dreaming; he always rushed to translate his dreams into acts. The practical side of him was so strong that he might have been a great statesman or reformer, had not his imagination, stimulated by a torrential fluency of language, overborne his will.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
