Shelley's drafts and notebooks, which have recently been published
for the first time, are very revealing about the creative processes
behind his poems, and show - through illustrations and doodles - an
unexpectedly vivid visual imagination which contributed greatly to
the effect of his poetry. Shelley's Visual Imagination analyzes
both verbal script and visual sketches in his manuscripts to
interpret the lively personifications of concepts such as
'Liberty', 'Anarchy', or 'Life' in his completed poems. Challenging
the persistent assumption that Shelley's poetry in particular, and
Romantic poetry more generally, reject the visual for expressive
voice or music, this first full-length study of the drafts and
notebooks combines criticism with a focus upon bibliographic codes
and iconic pages. The product of years of close examination of
these remarkable texts, this much-anticipated book will be of great
value for all students of Shelley and all those interested in the
Romantic process of creation.
