C: Percy Bysshe Shelly
After F.W. Shilstone 1
Shelly was one of the great English lyric poets who experimented with many literary styles and had a lasting influence on many later writers.
Shelly was born on August 4, 1792, in Sussex into a wealthy and politically prominent family. He had a stormy career at Eton College and Oxford University, from which he was expelled in 1911 for writing a pamphlet.
In 1811, Shelly eloped with 16-year-old Harriet Westbrook, the daughter of a former London coffee house owner. He abandoned her in 1814 and ran away with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, the daughter of a political philosopher whose liberal ideas greatly influenced Shelley. Though they said they did not believe in marriage, Shelly and Mary Godwin were married in 1816, after Harriet drowned herself. They had three children, two of whom died in infancy.
Shelly believed the Irish were being oppressed by their English rulers and tried to rouse the Irish to rebel against English in his pamphlets and poems. In 1816, Shelley and his wife became close friends with Lord Byron. Their friendship led to an ongoing exchange of ideas.
After March 1818, Shelly went into exile in Italy. There he wrote a series of important works, including The Cenci, Prometheus Unbound, The Witch of Atlas, Epipsychidion, Hellas.
On July 8, 1822, Shelly drowned while sailing near Livorno, Italy.
Shelley’s poems are emotionally direct, but difficult to understand intellectually. Much of his poetry is openly autobiographical. He wrote about the role of imagination as a spiritual guide, his decision to devote his life to the pursuit of ideas, his hopes for humanity’s redemption, conflicts between infinite desire and the inability to realize it. He asserts that poets sow the seeds of future reforms but do not themselves live to witness their realization.
