SELECTED POETRY AND PROSE OF SHELLEY

The generous selection in this volume represents the wide range of his writing, both poetry and prose. Arranged chronologically, the accompanying introductory essays set Shelley's works in their historical, social and political context. They provide a vivid insight into the life and times of this volcanic spirit, whose inspiring voice called on the people of England to: 'Rise like lions after slumber, In unvanquishable number; Shake your chains to earth like dew, Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many, they are few.' The Mask of Anarchy. 752pp. Paperback.
