Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following study of the development of the religious and political views of Shelley is made with the view to help one in forming a true estimate of his work and character. That there is a real difficulty in estimating correctly the life and works of Shelley no one acquainted with the varied judgments passed upon him will deny. By some our poet is regarded as an angel, a model of perfection; by others he is looked upon as "a rare prodigy of crime and pollution whose look even might infect." Mr. Swinburne calls him "the master singer of our modern poets," but neither Wordsworth nor Keats could appreciate his poetry. W. M. Rossetti, in an article on Shelley in the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, writes as follows: "In his own day an alien in the world of mind and invention, and in our day scarcely yet a denizen of it, he appears destined to become in the long vista of years an informing presence in the innermost shrine of human thought." Matthew Arnold, on the other hand, in one of his last essays, writes: "But let no one suppose that a want of humor and a self-delusion such as Shelley's have no effect upon a man's poetry. The man Shelley, in very truth, is not entirely sane, and Shelley's poetry is not entirely sane either." Views so entirely different, coming as they do from such eminent critics are surely perplexing. Nevertheless, there seems to be a light which can illuminate this difficulty, render intelligible his life and works, and help us to form a just estimate of them. This light is a comprehension of the influence which inspired him in all he did and all he wrote—in a word, a comprehension of his radicalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moreover, institutions are never an adequate expression of the ideal. "Men are never as good as the goodness they know. Institutions reveal the same truth. The margin between what society knows and what it is" makes radicalism possible. In his introduction to The Revolt of Islam, Shelley expresses the same thought: "The French Revolution may be considered as one of those manifestations of a general state of feeling among civilized mankind produced by a defect of correspondence between the knowledge existing in society and the improvement or gradual abolition of political institutions." The greater that this defect of correspondence becomes, the more intense will be the radicalism that inevitably ensues. Radicals want a change. The extent of this change differentiates them fairly well among themselves. Some would completely sweep away every existing institution. Thus Shelley thought the great victory would be won if he could exterminate kings and priests at a blow. Let the axe strike at the root, the poison-tree will fall.

There is constant warfare between the two for the mastery. In a progressive community neither of them is in the ascendant for any length of time. A period of radicalism is inevitably followed by one of conservatism and vice versa. The pendulum swings to one extreme and then back again to the other. As long as human nature will be what it is, our institutions will be defective, and change will be the order of the day. This no doubt results in progress, which Goethe has compared to a movement in a spiral direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelley: The Man and the Poet Byron, conversing with Shelley in literary mood admitted frankly that until that time he had written for women readers only, but that when he Should have reached the age of forty he intended to change his tactics, and to Show man kind What he was capable of doing. Shelley replied: Do it at once; write nothing but with conviction of its truth. You should teach the wise, not learn from the foolish. Time will reverse the verdict of the crowd. Contemporary criticism merely represents the amount of igno rance that must be encountered by genius. Time has proved Shelley to 'be in the right; the verdict of the crowd has been reversed, and Shelley's poetry will endure while the English language lasts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelley and the Unromantics My view of Shelley's character IS entirely founded upon his own works, particularly his letters, and upon the profound impression his unusual personality made on contemporaries very unlike himself. A posterity which has far more in common with him, might find, I believe, in his poems a deeper relevance to modern problems, and a truer source of encouragement and help than is usually supposed.
