'...This sizable collation, from an international cast of scholars, gives Shelley the systematic, archival ventilation received in abundance by William Wordsworth...The riches range from new arguments...to intriguing local details...Shelley studies are well positioned to conjure new theoretical models out of this work...Highly recommended.' Choice '... readers of Shelley can be thankful both for the excellence of the essays in this book and the energy that impels them.' New Books on Literature-19 'The Unfamiliar Shelley demonstrate[s] that it is not only Shelley's major, well-known poems and prose statements such as Adonais, Prometheus Unbound, and A Defence of Poetry which embody the complex synthesis on compressed and reflexive imagery, multiple meanings, and distinct but deliberately interwoven psychological perspectives that has lent Shelley's verse its well-deserved reputation for formidable complexity and unparalleled craftsmanship. The less-frequented byways of his work exemplify these same signature traits. Explicating a poem or essay by any other major Romantic poets - indeed, by any other poet regardless of his or her era - seems like child's play by comparison.' European Legacy
