Percy Bysshe Shelley by Fiona Sampson

Percy Bysshe Shelley by Fiona Sampson

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was born in Sussex and died in Italy when his sailing boat overturned while returning from a visit to Byron. A radical thinker and social campaigner, Shelley wrote some of the finest lyric verse in the English language which confirms his standing as a major figure in Romantic literature. In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets of our literature.

Fiona Sampson has published fourteen books - including poetry, philosophy of language and studies of writing process - of which the most recent is Rough Music (2010). She is the editor of Poetry Review.
