New editions and facsimiles of Percy Bysshe Shelley's works are
changing the landscape of Shelley studies by making complete
compositions and fragments that have received only limited critical
attention readily available to scholars. Building on the work begun
in Weinberg and Webb's 2009 volume, The Unfamiliar Shelley, The
Neglected Shelley sheds light on the breadth and depth of Shelley's
oeuvre, including the poet's earliest work, written when he was not
yet twenty and was experimenting with gothic romances, and other
striking forms of literary expression, such as two collections of
provocative verse. There are discussions of Shelley's collaboration
with Mary Shelley in the composition of Frankenstein, and his skill
as a translator of Greek poetry and drama, reflecting his urgent
concern with Greek culture. His contributions to prose are the
focus of essays on his letters, the subversive notes to Queen Mab,
and his complex engagement with Jewish culture. Shelley's
considerable corpus of fragments is well-represented in
contributions on the later narrative fiction, 'Athanase'/'Prince
Athanase', and the significant group of unfinished poems, including
'Mazenghi', 'Fiordispina', 'Ginevra' and 'The Boat on the Serchio',
that treat Italian topics. Finally, there are explorations of
subtle though neglected or underestimated works such as Rosalind
and Helen, The Sensitive-Plant, and the verse-drama Hellas. The
Neglected Shelley shows that even the poet's apparently slighter
works are important in their own right and are richly instructive
as expressions of Shelley's developing art of composition and the
diverse interests he pursued throughout his career.
