| book description |

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792â€“1822) was one of the major poets of the English Romantic period. This is the final volume of a six-volume edition of The Poems of Shelley, which aims to present all of Shelleyâ€™s poems in chronological order and with full annotation. Date and circumstances of composition are provided for each poem and all manuscript and printed sources relevant to establishing an authoritative text are freshly examined and assessed. Headnotes and footnotes furnish the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary to an informed reading of Shelleyâ€™s varied and allusive verse. Most of the poems in the present volume were composed between late January 1822 and Shelleyâ€™s death on 8 July 1822. These include the lyrics to Jane Williams, Fragments of an Unfinished Drama and The Triumph of Life as well as translations from Goetheâ€™s Faust (1822) and CalderÃ³nâ€™s El mÃ¡gico prodigioso. The appendices include editions of Poetical Essay on the Existing State of Things (1811), a poem made publicly accessible by the Bodleian Libraries in 2015 for the first time since its publication, and translations by Shelley from Goetheâ€™s Faust (1815), Aeschylusâ€™ Prometheus Bound (1817) and Homerâ€™s Odyssey (probably 1817). In addition to accompanying commentaries, there are extensive bibliographies to the poems, a chronological table of Shelleyâ€™s life and publications, and indexes to titles and first lines. Now completed, this is the most comprehensive edition of Shelleyâ€™s poetry available to students and scholars.
