Dispensing with the long-established Victorian picture of Shelley as a blandly ethereal character, Holmes projects a startling image of \"a darker and more earthly, crueler and more capable figure.\" Expelled from college, disowned by his aristocratic father, driven from England, Shelley led a life marked from its beginning to its early end by a violent rejection of society; he embraced rebellion and disgrace without thought of the cost to himself or to others. Here we have the real Shelley--radical agitator, atheist, apostle of free love, but above all a brilliant and uncompromising poetic innovator, whose life and work have proved an essential inspiration to poets as varied as W.B. Yeats and Allen Ginsberg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590170373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 2.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/07\/2007 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Richard Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259568025781,"sku":"9781590170373","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_10a37a35-396e-423c-9351-3397706fc7c5.jpg?v=1771342238","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shelley-the-pursuit-9781590170373","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
