About this title

From the Publisher:

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

From the Back Cover:

Turbulent, evocative, bitterly controversial, Shelley's poetry has never been short of admirers. Ejected from Oxford for atheism and inspired by the radicalism of the Age of Revolutions, Shelley proved too provocative for England. In his poetry as in his life of exile, he challenged popular conventions and political mores. He died at the peak of his powers, having already accomplished a body of work that fused passion and precision and changed English literary history. This edition also includes some of his radical prose works on marriage, vegetarianism, love, and Christianity.
