Poet Influenced Alfred Nobel Percy Bysshe Shelley August 4 July 8 pronounced /ˌpɝsi ˌbɪʃ ˈʃɛli/ ) was one of the major English Romantic poets and is widely considered to be among the finest lyric poets of the English language . He is perhaps most famous for such anthology pieces as Ozymandias Ode to the West Wind To a Skylark , and The Masque of Anarchy . However, his major works were long visionary poems including Alastor Adonais The Revolt of Islam Prometheus Unbound and the unfinished The Triumph of Life Shelley's unconventional life and uncompromising idealism , combined with his strong skeptical voice, made him a notorious and much denigrated figure during his life. He became the idol of the next two or three generations of poets, including the major Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite poets Robert Browning Alfred, Lord Tennyson Dante Gabriel Rossetti Algernon Charles Swinburne , as well as William Butler Yeats and poets in other languages such as Jibanananda Das and Subramanya Bharathy . He was also admired by Karl Marx Henry Stephens Salt , and Bertrand Russell . Famous for his association with his equally short-lived contemporaries John Keats and Lord Byron , he was also married to novelist Mary Shelley Son of Sir Timothy Shelley, a Sussex landowner and Whig Member of Parliament, Shelley grew up in Horsham, Sussex, and received his early education at home, tutored by Reverend Evan Edwards of Warnham. In 1802, he entered the Syon House Academy of Brentford. He was routinely bullied while he was there, both because of his "girlish" appearance and his family's aristocratic ties. Shelley had a poor temper was particularly inept with his fists. As one of his classmates wrote, he was "like a girl in boy's clothes, fighting with open hands."

   Extractions: Translate: English Deutsch Italiano T he he spirit of revolution and the power of free thought were Percy Shelley's biggest passions in life. After being sent away to boarding school at the age of ten, he attended a lecture on science which piqued his interest in the properties of electricity, magnetism, chemistry and telescopes. On return trips home, he would try to cure his sisters' chilblains by passing electric currents through them. He also hinted of a mysterious "alchemist" living in a hidden room in the attic. While attending the Eton school from 1804 to 1810, the quiet, odd and reflective boy was taunted relentlessly by schoolmates. This generated in him extremes of anger, once even driving him to stab another boy with a fork. Shelley detested the practice of younger boys buying protection (through doing menial tasks) from older bullies. He was ever the visionary and daydreamer, often forgetting to tie his shoelaces or to wear a hat. His odd behavior eventually earned him the nickname of "Mad Shelley". At school, Shelley became intrigued with the revolutionary political and philosophical ideas of Thomas Paine and William Godwin. Throughout his life, he emphatically expressed his political and religious views in a struggle against social injustice, often to the point where it got him into trouble or mired in controversy. Later, in Geneva with Byron, he would often write "

   Extractions: Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) English Romantic poet who rebelled against English politics and conservative values. Shelley was considered with his friend Lord Byron a pariah for his life style. He drew no essential distinction between poetry and politics, and his work reflected the radical ideas and revolutionary optimism of the era. Like many poets of his day, Shelley employed mythological themes and figures from Greek poetry that gave an exalted tone for his visions. "The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, (from 'Ode to the West Wind', 1819) Percy Bysshe Shelley was the heir of a rich estate acquired by his grandfather. He was born at Field Place, near Horsham in Sussex, into an aristocratic family. His father, Timothy Shelley, was a Sussex squire and a member of Parliament. Shelley attended Syon House Academy and Eton and in 1810 he entered the Oxford University College. Peri sarkofagias , Shelley mentioned that he has been a vegetarian for a period. At least George Bernard Shaw and Gandhi knew Shelley's defence of vegetarianism.

   Extractions: Percy Bysshe Shelley, , poet and husband of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley The only mature portrait of the poet to be surely authenticated was painted by Amelia Curran, daughter of the Irish statesman John Philpott Curran, in 1819 when the Shelleys were living in Rome where she was in residence as a student still learning her basic craft. Although thus the product of an inexperienced portraitist and never thought very true by Shelley's intimate friends, the romantic cast of the painting has had a marked impact on the popular conception of Shelley as an otherworldly aesthete. It was first reproduced as an engraving in , Volume 2 (London: John Murray, 1832), which is the version included here. The original is in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

His heart, which refused to burn, was first passed to Hunt who later gave it to Mary Shelley. When Shelley's body was found, a copy of Keats' poetry was discovered in his pocket - doubled back - as though it had been put away in a hurry.

    Extractions: P ercy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) exhibited a fascination with natural phenomena from early childhood. His biographer Richard Holmes begins the story of Shelley's life with family stories about a "Great Tortoise" and "Great Snake" that inhabited the pond and woods at Field Place in Sussex. One of Shelley's teachers at Syon House Academy was Dr. Adam Walker, an itinerant astronomer and inventor who lectured on the possibility of life on other planets and on links between magnetism and electricity. Shelley's cousin Tom Medwin described looking through Walker's telescopes at the rings of Saturn and through his microscope at a fly's wing, cheese mites, and "the vermicular animalculae in vinegar." Shelley was notorious as a school boy for his scientific experiments, many of which resulted in destructive explosions. His sister recalled "being placed hand-in-hand round the nursery table to be electrified." By 1810, when Shelley left Eton for Oxford, he had translated large sections of Pliny's Historia Naturalis ; he had also experimented with electricity and magnetism as well as with gunpowder and numerous chemical reactions. His rooms at University College Oxford contained a wide range of scientific equipment: vials, crucibles, "philosophical instruments," a solar microscope, a galvanic trough, an air pump, a telescope, and an assortment of electrical devices. His friend Hogg noted that Shelley was "passionately attached to the study of what used to be called the occult sciences, conjointly with that of the new wonders, which chemistry and natural philosophy [physical science] have displayed to us."

The second-hand narration attempts to resurrect the once powerful king's might while the exotic setting of Egypt and desert sands helps illuminate the struggle between artist and subject. Shelley often attracted criticism and controversy for his outspoken challenges to oppression, religion, and convention as in his political poem “The Masque of Anarchy” (1819), a critical look at the Peterloo massacre;
