Reviews

an astonishingly thorough examination of Shelley's literary career ... As a collection of eminently readable essays, this volume is a splendid accomplishment, presenting a dynamic, fascinating, thoughtful, and hard-working Shelley ... While providing plenty of biographical, historical, literary, and other contextual information, this collection puts the writing - prose and verse - in sharp focus without ignoring the interesting, often titillating aspects of Shelley's personal life and the famous relationships the poet enjoyed ... Refreshingly, the volume never loses sight of Shelley's work or his intellect and creativity. D. A. Robinson, Choice

Anthony Howe has taught at both Cambridge and Oxford Universities and is currently Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Birmingham City University. He has published essays on Byron and Shelley and is currently finishing a monograph entitled Byron and the Forms of Thought for Liverpool University Press. Madeleine Callaghan is Lecturer in Romantic Literature at the University of Sheffield.
