Percy Bysshe Shelley Selected Poems
€0,00
Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poetry emerged from the radical ferment of the early nineteenth century, with landmark works appearing from 1810 onwards. His verse ranges from the political urgency of The Mask of Anarchy to the visionary splendour of Prometheus Unbound and the elegiac beauty of Adonais, written in memory of John Keats.
A leading voice of English Romanticism, Shelley unites an uncompromising faith in liberty with a profound awareness of impermanence, loss and the transformative power of imagination. His poems move between intimate lyricism and sweeping philosophical ambition, questioning tyranny while imagining new forms of human possibility. His influence on political poetry and later lyric traditions remains considerable.
