• This Wordsworth Edition includes an exclusive Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Dr Bruce Woodcock, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Hull.
• Shelley's short, prolific life produced some of the most memorable and well-known lyrics of the Romantic period.
• But he was also the most radical writer in the English literary tradition of his day, a fiery political visionary committed to social change and progress.
• 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)
