Stimulated by new editions of Shelley's writings and the evidence
of notebooks, the editors have assembled an outstanding group of
international Shelley scholars to work through the implications of
recent advances in scholarship. With particular attention to texts
that have been neglected or underestimated, the contributors
consider many important aspects of Shelley's prolific and
remarkably diverse output, including the verse letter, plays, prose
essays, satire, pamphlets, political verse, romance, prefaces,
translations from the Greek, prose style, artistic representations,
fragments and early writings. Revaluations of Shelley's youthful
works, often criticized for their over-exuberance, pay dividends as
they reveal Shelley's early maturation as a writer and also shed
light on his later achievement. Taken as a whole, the collection
makes evident that Shelley's reputation has been based largely on
surprisingly imperfect and incomplete edited publications, driven
by Victorian taste and culture. A writer very different from the
one we thought we knew emerges from these essays, which are sure to
inspire more reappraisals of Shelley's work.
