Percy Shelley (1792-1822) was one of the major English Romantic
poets. This biography of emphasises the political, revolutionary
side of his dramatic life. Shelley has long been revered for his
poems To A Skylark and The Mask of Anarchy, but this was not always
the case. During his short and tragic life he was regarded with
loathing as an immoral atheist and his work received damning
reviews as a result. His was a story of extremes - his radical
ideas were unusual as he was the son of a wealthy landowner and set
to become a Whig MP. Today, a focus on his belief in sexual freedom
and vegetarianism often eclipses his informed internationalist and
revolutionary politics. Admired by Oscar Wilde, Thomas Hardy, W. B.
Yeats and Karl Marx, Shelley's legacy remains with us today - his
words have been used by popular movements from the Chartists and
the Suffragettes to Tiananmen Square, the Poll Tax protesters and
modern Greek solidarity movements.
