The Oxford Handbook of Percy Bysshe Shelley takes stock of current
developments in the study of a major Romantic poet and
prose-writer, and seeks to advance Shelley studies in new
directions. It consists of forty-two chapters written by an
international cast of established and emerging scholar-critics.
This Handbook is divided into five thematic sections: Biography and
Relationships; Prose; Poetry; Cultures, Traditions, Influences; and
Afterlives. The first section reappraises Shelley's life and
relationships, including those with his publishers through whom he
sought to reach an audience for the 'Ashes and sparks' of his
thought, and with women, creative collaborators as well as
muse-figures. The second section gives his under-investigated prose
works detailed attention, bringing multiple perspectives to bear on
his conceptual positions, and demonstrating the range of his
achievement in prose works from novels to political and poetic
treatises. The third section explores Shelley's creativity and gift
as a poet, emphasizing his capacity to excel in many different
poetic genres. The fourth section looks at Shelley's response to
past and present literary cultures, both English and international,
and at his immersion in science, music, theatre, the visual arts,
and travel. The fifth section concludes the volume by analysing
Shelley's literary and cultural afterlife, from his influence on
Victorians and Moderns, to his status as the exemplary poet for
Deconstruction. Packed with stimulating insights and readings, The
Oxford Handbook of Percy Bysshe Shelley brings out the relevance to
Shelley's own work of his dictum that 'All high poetry is infinite'
