About Poems
A brief introduction to the life of Shelley, called the poet of "uncompromising spirit," and his most praised works, some extracted from the whole, others presented in full.
Opening line
“THE task of any editor of Shelley is complicated by the poet's eccentricities of spelling and punctuation, by his carelessness both in transcribing and in correcting the proofs of his poems, and by the fact that many poems were printed without his seeing them through the press himself and many more appeared only after his death, taken from notebooks and manuscripts that were indescribably confused.”
