In Percy Bysshe Shelley: A Literary Life Michael O'Neill gives a
knowledgeable and balanced account of Shelley's literary career
from his earliest published work to his last unfinished
masterpiece, The Triumph of Life. The book draws on recent research
about the poet and his age, but its sense of the ways in which
texts and contexts interact is sharply independent. Issues
discussed include Shelley's social background, his radical politics
and his complex response to Enlightenment rationalism. O'Neill
stresses Shelley's often disappointed search for an audience,
connecting it with the growing sophistication of his poetry and
poetics. For Shelley a poet was the 'combined product' of 'internal
powers' and 'external influences' (Preface to Prometheus Unbound);
this book explores how such a combination manifests itself in his
own writings.
