A fantastic reissue of Richard Holmes' epic biography of this most
enigmatic and intriguing of the Romantic poets. This is simply one
of the greatest biographical achievements of recent years. Shelley,
the most neglected of all the great Romantic poets, was born in
Sussex in 1792 and died in Tuscany in 1822, a brief life packed
with love affairs, alarums and excursions. Holmes's book offers a
serious and critical reappraisal of Shelley as a man and a writer;
all his prose and poetry is carefully re-examined, his sense of
spiritual and geographical isolation brilliantly described and a
detailed portrait of his macabre imaginative life slowly assembled.
Shelley's intense friendships with some of the most remarkable
figures of his age fill Holmes's pages with a vivid parorama of
revolutionary idealism and recklessness. To this is added the
private story of Shelley's tortuous romantic liaisons,
complications which affected both the peculiar tenor of his daily
life and the remotest conceptions of his poetry. This is a
stunning, entrancing biography of a fascinating subject, and a
timely reissue of an absolutely seminal work.
