Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Note-Book of the Shelley Society, Vol. 1 The Rev. Stopford Brooke, in stating the objects of the Society, said that the humour of about a hundred persons might alone be considered a good reason for the existence of any Society whatever, but the founders of the Shelley Society desired to connect together all that would throw light on the poets personality and his work, to ascertain the truth about him, to issue reprints, and above all to do something to further the objects of Shelley's life and work, and perhaps to better understand and love a genius which was ignored and abused in his own time, but which had risen from the grave into which the critics had trampled it to live in the hearts of men. There are those, however, the lecturer continued, who do not love Shelley's poetry. Mr. Matthew Arnold finds in it an incurable want of sound subject-matter, and consequently a large element of unsubstantially. He considers a volume of selections from Wordsworth or Byron of far more value than a similar selection from Shelley. Others are of opinion that the comparison of such selections really proves Mr. Arnold to be in the wrong. Byron is inferior to Shelley in what Mr. Arnold calls true seriousness of substance and manner, as well as in felicity of diction. As a serious attempt to grasp the problem of good and evil, Byron's "Cain" cannot bear comparison with "Prometheus Unbound" Byron was rarely true to himself; and this lack of sincerity will always prevent the world from loving him as it loves Shelley. The high praise which Shelley gave to Byron did not imply that he had not detected the weaknesses of Byron's work. Shelley's remark that Cain was the finest thing in poetry since "Paradise Regained" evinces his hatred of orthodox religion rather than his critical acumen. He had no such unreserved opinion as Mr. Arnold imagines about Byron's work. He by no means approved of Byron's poetic method, and was indignant with the spirit that animated "Childe Harold," regarding the life and temper of Byron at the time of which he wrote as an insane and self-willed folly, in which he deliberately hardened himself. In short, Shelley did not consider Byron possessed the qualities which make a poet consistently great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shelley Society's Papers, Vol. 1: Being the Part of the First Volume As to truth to human nature - I have elsewhere said that when Shelley wrote about himself, he described, a certain vague, sceptical, discontented, aspiring, and de pressed condition of human life which has a great interest for us at the present time, because so many of us share in it, and among these some of his critics. But it is a condition of which he himself strongly disapproves. The preface to Alastor is enough to allege as evidence of this disapproval. He wrote that poem in order to get rid of this condition, and so far the matter of the poem was serious. Another set of his poems, those which belong to love, to regrets, to metaphysical passion, cannot be said to be serious in substance. They are woven of ether and fine fire, but nevertheless they are true to human nature, to many passing phases of feeling, and no one else has embodied these phases. Our life is not all passed in the realm of realities, of simple sorrows and joys. We are often such stuff as dreams are made of, and we suffer and rejoice as much in our dreams as in that which we call real life. If, however, all Shelley's poetry consisted of this cloudland, of this ethereal work, we might fairly blame him, but it did not. We accept this side then of his work, and are grateful to him for ex pressing that in us which no English poet has ever expressed so well as himself.

Download or read book The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley written by Percy Bysshe Shelley and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2005-01-21 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winners of an Honorable Mention from the Modern Language Association's Prize for a Distinguished Scholarly Edition Writing to his publisher in 1813, Shelley expressed the hope that two of his major works "should form one volume"; nearly two centuries later, the second volume of the Johns Hopkins edition of The Complete Poetry fulfills that wish for the first time. This volume collects two important pieces: Queen Mab and The Esdaile Notebook. Privately issued in 1813, Queen Mab was perhaps Shelley's most intellectually ambitious work, articulating his views of science, politics, history, religion, society, and individual human relations. Subtitled A Philosophical Poem: With Notes, it became his most influential—and pirated—poem during much of the nineteenth century, a favorite among reformers and radicals. The Esdaile Notebook, a cycle of fifty-eight early poems, exhibits an astonishing range of verse forms. Unpublished until 1964, this sequence is vital in understanding how the poet mastered his craft. As in the acclaimed first volume, these works have been critically edited by Donald H. Reiman and Neil Fraistat. The poems are presented as Shelley intended, with textual variants included in footnotes. Following the poems are extensive discussions of the circumstances of their composition and the influences they reflect; their publication or circulation by other means; their reception at the time of publication and in the decades since; their re-publication, both authorized and unauthorized; and their place in Shelley's intellectual and aesthetic development.

Book excerpt: Garland's magnificent facsimile series of the manuscripts of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ( The Bodleian Shelley Manuscripts , 22 volumes, 1986-1997) is now made complete by the publication of its Index-volume. Volume XXIII provides the key to the contents of the Shelleyan notebooks and papers in all their complexity: poems, prose, translations, fragments, calculations, drawing and doodles, addresses and other miscellaneous jottings. The accumulated findings provide a treasure-trove of information about the Shelley's lives: their writings and readings, and echoes of classical and later authors; the people they met, corresponded with, rented houses from, or saw perform; the towns they visited, the very houses in which they lived, the lakes and rivers they sailed and the mountains they climbed. The intellectual and physical data of these manuscripts will help open new vistas for students of their lives, thought and creative writing.

Download or read book The Poems of Shelley Volume One written by Geoffrey Matthews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was one of the major Romantic poets, and wrote what is critically recognised as some of the finest lyric poetry in the English language. This is the first volume of the five-volume The Poems of Shelley, which presents all of Shelley’s poems in chronological order and with full annotation. Date and circumstances of composition are provided for each poem and all manuscript and printed sources relevant to establishing an authoritative text are freshly examined and assessed. Headnotes and footnotes supply the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary to an informed reading of Shelley’s varied and allusive verse. The present volume includes the 'Esdaile' poems, which only entered the public domain in the 1950s, printed in chronological order and integrated with the rest of Shelley's early output, and Queen Mab, the first of Shelley’s major poems, together with its extensive prose notes. The seminal Alastor volume is placed in the detailed context of Shelley’s overall poetic development. The ‘Scrope Davies’ notebook, only discovered in 1976, furnishes two otherwise unknown sonnets as well as alternative versions of ‘Hymn to Intellectual Beauty’ and ‘Mont Blanc’, which significantly influence our understanding of these important poems. This first volume contains new datings, and makes numerous corrections to long-established errors and misunderstandings in the transmission of Shelley's work. Its annotations and headnotes provide new perspectives on Shelley's literary, philosophical and political development The volumes of The Poems of Shelley form the most comprehensive edition of Shelley's poetry available to students and scholars.
