Shelley, Paperback / softback Book

Shelley Paperback / softback

Part of the Longman Critical Readers series

Paperback / softback

Description

Attacked by T.S. Eliot and F.R. Leavis, Shelley's poetry has, over the last few decades, enjoyed a revival of critical interest.

His radical politics and arrestingly original poetic strategies have been studied from a variety of perspectives - formalist, deconstructionist, new historicist, feminist and others.

Of all the Romantics, Shelly has benefited most from the so-called 'theoretical revolution', as is borne out by the wide range of recent critical work represented in this volume.

The 134 essays selected analyse many of Shelley's finest poems, including Alastor, Julian and Maddalo, Prometheus Unbound, Adonais and The Triumph of Life.

Michael O'Neill's informed Introduction explores the contours of this debate.

Detailed headnotes to the individual essays, explanations of difficult terms, and a further reading section provide invaluable guides to the reader.

This collection illuminates the enduring and contemporary significance of the work of a major poet.
