Description
"A balanced study of Shelley can be made only in the light of an understanding of the contemporary events and ferment of ideas which shaped his intellect and imagination and determined the humanitarian passion that dominates much of his poetry. In this book, revised by the author for the Second Edition, Mr. Brailsford considers the influence of the French revolution upon English thought and relates Shelley and Godwin to such other outstanding figures of the period as Thomas Paine and Mary show more Wollstonecraft."--Jacket show lessTags
