Essays on Shelley's achievements and distinctive qualities as a
writer covering the whole range of his work. This volume brings
together important new readings of Shelley's poetry by British
critics. All of the contributors are aware of Shelley's
controversial political views, and assume from the outset an
engaged political consciousness which informs every part of his
work. But the primary intention in this collection is to provide
positive reassessment of Shelley's achievements and distinctive
qualities as a writer. Included are detailed readings of the
lyricpoetry, the longer visionary narratives, and also the topical
literary-political works. There are informed discussions of the
local social and cultural circumstances in which some of Shelley's
best-known poems were written. In the poet's bi-centenary year,
these readings are offered in a spirit of celebration and
appreciation of a writer whose primary importance lies, not in his
ideas, or his life, or his contexts, but in his status as a major
Englishpoet. Contributors: VINCENT NEWEY, KELVIN EVEREST, TIMOTHY
WEBB, RICHARD CRONIN, EDWARD LARRISSY, BERNARD BEATTY, MICHAEL
O'NEILL
