Percy Bysshe Shelley: Collected Poems

This collection gathers Shelley's poetry from the 1810s to his death in 1822: early radical narratives, the lyrical dramas Prometheus Unbound and The Cenci, the elegy Adonais, political songs, and shorter odes and lyrics such as those on the west wind, the skylark, and the ruined statue in the desert. Recurring subjects are tyranny and revolt, love, the natural world, and the poet's claim to speak for liberty. Longer works sit beside fragments and occasional pieces. The volume is a collected poems, not a single narrative, and it presents the verse rather than the prose pamphlets.
