POET (ENGLAND) BORN 4 Aug 1792, Field Place, Sussex - DIED 8 Jul 1822
GRAVE LOCATION Roma: Protestant Cemetery (Zona Vecchia 104 (ashes))
Percy Bysshe Shelley was the son of a country gentleman, Sir Timothy Shelley (1753-1844). He was educated at Eton College and at Oxford University, where he was expelled in 1811 after refusing to confess that he was the author of the pamflet "The Necessity of Atheism". It was written by Shelley. By that time he had already published "Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire" and two novels, "Zastrozzi" and "St. Irvyne, or the Rosicrucian".
He 1811 he eloped with the sixteen year old girl Harriet Westbrook and they married on 28 Aug 1811 in Scotland, against the wishes of his and her father. In 1812 Shelley first met the philosopher William Godwin, whose work he admired. Shelley was under the impression that Godwin was no longer alive and was thrilled to meet his hero. Dearing that their Scottish marriage was not lawful, he married Harriet once more in England, in 1814. Unfortunately soon afterwards they became estranged and in May of that year Shelley declared his love to the yong Mary Godwin, daughter of 'illustrious parents' William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft. On 28 Jul 1814 Shelley ran away with Mary to Europe and they took Mary's stepsister Claire with them. In September 1814 they went back to England. In 1815 Shelley's grandfather Sir Bysshe died and he agreed on a yearly allowance with Sir Timothy, who still did not want to have anything to do with his son.

Biographical note Poet, son of Sir Timothy Shelley, was born at Field Place, near Horsham, Sussex, and ed. at Brentford, Eton, and University College, Oxford, whence for writing and circulating a pamphlet, The Necessity of Atheism , he was expelled. One immediate result of this was a difference with his father, which was deepened into a permanent breach by his marriage in the following year to Harriet Westbrook, the pretty and lively daughter of a retired innkeeper. The next three years were passed in wandering about from place to place in Ireland, Wales, the Lake District, and other parts of the kingdom, and in the composition of Queen Mab Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin daughter of William Godwin ( q.v. ), with whom he eloped to Italy in 1814, and whom he married in 1816, his first wife having drowned herself. The custody of his two children, whom he had left with their mother, was refused him by the Court of Chancery. In Switzerland he had made the acquaintance of Byron, with whom he afterwards lived in intimacy in Italy. Returning to England in 1815 he wrote his first really great poem

Born: 4th August 1792

P
Died: 8th July 1822 off Viareggio, Italy
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born at Field Place in Warnham, near Horsham in Sussex, the son of Timothy Shelley, a local member of Parliament and afterwards a baronet, by his wife Elizabeth, the daughter of Charles Pilfold. They were an aristocratic family descended from the Shelleys of Michelgrove. Shelley was educated at the Syon House Academy in Brentford (Middlesex) and Eton College (Buckinghamshire), before entering University College, Oxford in 1810. The following year, the University expelled Shelley for publishing, with Thomas Jefferson Hogg, 'The Necessity of Atheism . He then eloped with the sixteen-year-old daughter of a former London tavern owner, and old school friend of his sisters, named Harriet Westbrook. His father immediately withdrew his inheritance, substituting a small annuity instead. The couple spent the next two years travelling in the British Isles: Keswick, Radnor, Lynmouth, Tremadoc, Killarney, London; and to Bracknell in Berkshire in July 1813, to be near a certain Mrs. Boinville and her daughter, Cornelia Turner, with whom Shelley studied the Italian poets. Here he should first have come to society's attention as a poet of note, by publishing his atheistic 'Queen Mab'. However, the Shelleys seem to have been chiefly engaged in distributing pamphlets and making speeches against political injustice.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
A major figure among the English Romantic poets, Shelley led an unconventional life and died tragically young. Percy Bysshe Shelley was born on 4 August 1792 near Horsham in Sussex. His father was an member of parliament. Shelley was educated at Eton and at Oxford University. There he began to read radical writers such as Tom Paine and William Godwin. In 1811, he was expelled for his contribution to a pamphlet supporting atheism. Shelley then eloped to Scotland with 16-year-old Harriet Westbrook. The resulting scandal caused a serious rift with his family. Harriet and Shelley had two children, but soon separated. In 1813, Shelley published his first serious work, 'Queen Mab'. In 1814, Shelley fell in love with Mary, the 16-year-old daughter of writers William Godwin, a friend of Shelley's, and Mary Wollstonecraft. The couple travelled together in Europe and spent the summer of 1816 at Lake Geneva with Lord Byron. Shelley wrote poetry and Mary conceived the idea for her novel 'Frankenstein'.

A Defence of Poetry by percy bysshe shelley, answering The Four Ages of Poetry by Thomas Love Peacock.
http://www.thomaslovepeacock.net/defence.html
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A Defence of Poetry
A CCORDING to one mode of regarding those two classes of mental action which are called Reason and Imagination, the former may be considered as mind contemplating the relations borne by one thought to another, however produced; and the latter as mind, acting upon those thoughts so as to colour them with its own light, and composing from them as from elements, other thoughts, each containing within itself the principle of its own integrity. The one is the to poiein , or the principle of synthesis and has for its objects those forms which are common to universal nature and existence itself; the other is the to logizein or principle of analysis and its action regards the relations of things, simply as relations; considering thoughts, not in their integral unity but as the algebraical representations which conduct to certain general results. Reason is the enumeration of quantities already known; Imagination is the perception of the value of those quantities, both seperately and as a whole. Reason respects the differences, and Imagination the similitudes of things. Reason is to Imagination as the instrument to the agent, as the body to the spirit, as the shadow to the substance.
and he considers the faculty which receives them as the storehouse of axioms common to all knowledge. In the infancy of society every author is necessarily a poet, because language itself is poetry; and to be a poet is to apprehend the true and the beautiful, in a word the good which exists in the relation, subsisting, first between existence and perception, and secondly between perception and expression. Every original language near to its source is in itself the chaos of a cyclic poem: the copiousness of lexicography and the distinctions of grammar are the works of a later age, and are merely the catalogue and the form of the creations of Poetry.

No. 1 Introduction:- Thorton Hunt, who as a young man was to meet Shelley, wrote: "[Shelley was an heir] to fortune and title, while yet a boy he revolted against tyranny, dogma, and falsehood, so openly and uncompromisingly that his family disowned him as far as it might, society looked askance at him, and only they welcomed him who were at issue with the dominant idolatry of that period, now passed away. ... and refusing a family condonation, a seat in Parliament, and higher honours in prospect, he sought his life in poetry made real; wedding the daughter and intellectual heiress of Political Justice , and literally leading her clear mind into his own path of classic study and exalted speculation. As he advanced towards its midst he drew around him men older in years, more trained in the world; and more accustomed to embody their thoughts in definite aims, whether of social action or worldly success."

Erotic Poetry
Percy Bysshe Shelley English Romantic poet and philosopher whose passionate search for personal love and social justice was gradually channeled from overt actions into poems that rank with the greatest in the English language. Shelley was one of the most influential leaders of the literary movement known as Romanticism. Shelley produced Laon and Cythna, a long narrative poem later reissued as The Revolt of Islam, the short odes "To a Skylark", "To the West Wind", and "The Cloud"; the sonnet "Ozymandias"); the verse drama Prometheus Unbound; and the unfinished critical work In Defence of Poetry, among other great literary works.

Library Historical Documents Percy Bysshe Shelley : Necessity Of Atheism
The Necessity of Atheism
by Percy Bysshe Shelley HALDEMAN-JULIUS COMPANY GIRARD, KANSAS FOREWORD BY HENRY S. SALT "I regard Shelley's early 'atheism' and later Pantheism, as simply the negative and the affirmative side of the same progressive but harmonious life-creed. In his earlier years his disposition was towards a vehement denial of a theology which he never ceased to detest; in his maturer years he made more frequent reference to the great World Spirit in whom he had from the first believed. He grew wiser in the exercise of his religious faith, but the faith was the same throughout; there, was progression, but no essential change." Shelley resembled Blake in the contrast of feeling with which he regarded the Christian religion and its founder. For the human character of Christ he could feel the deepest veneration, as may be seen not only from the "Essay on Christianity," but from the "Letter to Lord Ellenborough" (1812), and also from the notes to "Hellas" and passages in that poem and in "Prometheus Unbound"; but he held that the spirit of established Christianity was wholly out of harmony with that of Christ, and that a similarity to Christ was one of the qualities most detested by the modern Christian. The dogmas of the Christian faith were always repudiated by him, and there is no warrant whatever in his writings for the strange pretension that, had he lived longer, his objections to Christianity might in some way have been overcome.

Audisne haec amphiarae, sub terram abdite
Preface
The Greek tragic writers, in selecting as their subject any portion of their national history or mythology, employed in their treatment of it a certain arbitrary discretion. They by no means conceived themselves bound to adhere to the common interpretation or to imitate in story as in title their rivals and predecessors. Such a system would have amounted to a resignation of those claims to preference over their competitors which incited the composition. The Agamemnonian story was exhibited on the Athenian theatre with as many variations as dramas. This Poem was chiefly written upon the mountainous ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, among the flowery glades and thickets of odoriferous blossoming trees, which are extended in ever winding labyrinths upon its immense platforms and dizzy arches suspended in the air. The bright blue sky of Rome, and the effect of the vigorous awakening spring in that divinest climate, and the new life with which it drenches the spirits even to intoxication, were the inspiration of this drama. The imagery which I have employed will be found, in many instances, to have been drawn from the operations of the human mind, or from those external actions by which they are expressed. This is unusual in modern poetry, although Dante and Shakespeare are full of instances of the same kind; Dante indeed more than any other poet, and with greater success. But the Greek poets, as writers to whom no resource of awakening the sympathy of their contemporaries was unknown, were in the habitual use of this power; and it is the study of their works (since a higher merit would probably be denied me) to which I am willing that my readers should impute this singularity.

Defence of Poetry, 1819
Introductory Note The "Defence of Poetry" is by far the most important of Shelley's prose writings, and is of great value in supplementing and correcting the picture of his mind which is given by his lyrical poetry; for we can perceive from this brilliant piece of philosophical discussion that Shelley had intellect as well as imagination. The immediate occasion of the essay was the publication of Thomas Love Peacock's "Four Ages of Poetry," to which Shelley's work was originally a reply. In this, as in other notable respects, the treatise is parallel with Sidney's. In its present form Shelley has eliminated much of the controversial matter; and it stands as one of the most eloquent and inspiring assertions of the "ideal nature and essential value of poetry." A Defence of Poetry: An Essay and he considers the faculty which perceives them as the storehouse of axioms common to all knowledge.
