Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) wrote two of the best known
shorter poems in English, 'Ode to the West Wind' and 'Ozymandias';
a series of ambitious and challenging long poems including Queen
Mab and the 'Lyrical Drama' Prometheus Unbound; A Defence of Poetry
and other lucid and provocative political and literary works in
prose; sonnets, satires, translations, travel-letters. During and
after his lifetime controversy was generated by his poetry, radical
politics, atheism, vegetarianism and unorthodox relationships. He
was the young Robert Browning's 'Sun-Treader' and Matthew Arnold's
'ineffectual angel'; W.B. Yeats said that Shelley 'shaped my life'
and F.R. Leavis discouraged people from reading him. The dictionary
covers all these areas of interest, as well as Shelley's travels
and homes in Britain and Europe, his important personal and
literary relationships with Mary Shelley, Byron, Godwin, Keats,
Peacock, Coleridge, Wordsworth, his vast reading, European and
American reception, representations in fiction, drama, film and
portraits, and the sources, publication history, reviews and
illustrations of his work.
