Posthumous Poems Of Percy Bysshe Shelley Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley I'r had been my wish, on presenting the public with the Posthumous Poems of Mr. Shelley, to have ac companied them by a biographical notice: as it ap peared to me, that at this moment a narration of the events of my husband's life would come more grace fully from other hands than mine, I applied to Mr. Leigh hunt. The distinguished friendship that Mr. Shelley felt for him, and the enthusiastic affection with which Mr. Leigh hunt clings to his friend's me mory, seemed to point him out as the person best cal culated for such an undertaking. His absence from this country, which prevented our mutual explanation, has unfortunately rendered my scheme abortive. I do not doubt but that on some other occasion he will pay this tribute to his lost friend, and sincerely regret that the volume which I edit has not been honoured by its insertion.

Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley The incomparable beauty and abundance of Shelley's poetry make the task of selection from it, and especially from the longer poems and odes, one of unusual difficulty. The passages included in this volume are, so far as possible, complete in themselves, and it is hoped that they will provide the student with some idea of the great variety and scope of the poet's work and form an introduction to more thorough study. The notes are intended to supply a commentary upon the circumstances of the various poems and to link the selections, which are arranged chronologically, together; while they offer an explanation of the more difficult passages and illustrate the literary and other allusions of which Shelley's verse is full. The editor desires to thank his wife for aid and advice in the task of selection, as in the companion volume Selections from Keats.
