This book argues for the importance of blasphemy in shaping the
literature and readership of Percy Bysshe Shelley and of the
Romantic period more broadly. Not only are perceptions of blasphemy
taken to be inextricable from politics, this book also argues for
blasphemous 'irreverence' as both inspiring and necessitating new
poetic creativity. The book reveals the intersection of blasphemy,
censorship and literary property throughout the 'Long Eighteenth
Century', attesting to the effect of this connection on Shelley's
poetry more specifically. Paul Whickman notes how Shelley's
perceived blasphemy determined the nature and readership of his
published works through censorship and literary piracy.
Simultaneously, Whickman crucially shows that aesthetics, content
and the printed form of the physical text are interconnected and
that Shelley's political and philosophical views manifest
themselves in his writing both formally and thematically.
