Shelley and Vitality reassesses Percy Shelley's engagement with
early nineteenth-century science and medicine, specifically his
knowledge and use of theories on the nature of life presented in
the debate between surgeons John Abernethy and William Lawrence.
Sharon Ruston offers new biographical information to link Shelley
to a medical circle and explores the ways in which Shelley exploits
the language and ideas of vitality. Major canonical works are
reconsidered to address Shelley's politicised understanding of
contemporary scientific discourse.
