Excerpt from Selected Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley: Edited With Introduction and Notes NO one can attempt to deal with Shelley in editorial fashion without being conscious at almost every step of the great value of Professor Dowdell's biography of the poet, and ot much of the 3ther material men tioned in the Bibliography. I have tried, however, in preparing the Introduction and Notes, to maintain that independence of judgment which should charac terize all Shelleyans, and to produce a text suitable indeed for student use, and conforming to classroom requirements, yet based on other than formally peda gogic principles. Literature, it seems, is not getting itself taught in our higher schools as vitally as we would like, despite immense critical apparatus. Is it because we are too judicial?

Excerpt from Select Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley The publication of a book in the series of which this little volume forms part, implies a claim on its behalf to a perfection of form, as well as an attractiveness of subject, entitling it to the rank of a recognised English classic. This pretension can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertainment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfection is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary literature of the eighteenth century.

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.
