Widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric and philosophical poets of English literature, Percy Bysshe Shelley was a radical Romantic, noted for his strident political and social views. Although he never saw fame in his lifetime, recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his untimely death and he became an influential figure to the prominent Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite poets. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting.
