Percy Bysshe Shelley (Dodo Press) John Addington Symonds

1879 biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley (August 4, 1792 - July 8, 1822), one of the major English Romantic poets who is widely considered to be among the finest lyric poets in the English language. He is perhaps most famous for such anthology pieces as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark, and The Masque of Anarchy. However, his major works are long visionary poems including Alastor, Adonaïs, The Revolt of Islam, Prometheus Unbound and the unfinished The Triumph of Life.
