Rebel, exile and radical, Shelley was the quintessential romantic whose poetry expresses both drama and fantasy. This anthology demonstrates his breadth of style and subject covering as it does his classical works, his long mythical poem 'Queen Mab', his political allegory 'The Revolt of Islan' and the autobiographical 'Epipsychidion'. Also included are some of Shelley's great lyrical poems, including 'Ode to the West Wind' and 'To a Skylark'.
