Shelley is a biography book written by Francis Thompson that explores the life of the famous English poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The book delves into Shelley's early life, including his childhood and education, and follows his journey as he becomes one of the most influential poets of the Romantic era. Thompson explores Shelley's relationships with his family, friends, and lovers, including his tumultuous marriage to Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. The book also examines Shelley's political and philosophical beliefs, including his advocacy for social justice and his rejection of traditional religious institutions. Through extensive research and analysis of Shelley's poetry and personal writings, Thompson provides a comprehensive portrait of a complex and fascinating figure in English literature. Shelley is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of one of the greatest poets of the Romantic era.Now Shelley never could have been a man, for he never was a boy. And the reason lay in the persecution which overclouded his school- days. Of that persecution's effect upon him, he has left us, in The Revolt of Islam, a picture which to many or most people very probably seems a poetical exaggeration; partly because Shelley appears to have escaped physical brutality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
