Shelley’s Poetry and Prose

0.0

This Second Edition of a perennial favorite in the Norton Critical Editions series represents an extensive revision of its predecessor. Shelley’s Poetry and Prose again includes the most comprehensive collection of Shelley’s writing available in a student paperback edition. Donald H. Reiman and Neil Fraistat, co-cditors of The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley, have newly based the texts on the primary textual authorities, whether published or in manuscript. Each poetry and prose selection has been re-edited from the ground up; the headnotes detailing the textual history of Shelley’s major works have been revised and expanded; and the many explanatory annotations have been revised and supplemented. The years since 1977, when the First Edition appeared, have witnessed a renaissance in Shelley studies greater than any since 1870-92. The critical essays in the Second Edition draw from twenty-two scholar-critics to provide analysis of Shelley’s manuscripts, as well as his historical context, thought, and art. Among those who offer their assessments are Harold Bloom, Alan Bewell, James Chandler, Stuart Curran, Kelvin Everest, Nancy Moore Goslee, Jerrold E. Hogle, William Keach, Michael O’Neill, Michael Scrivener Earl R. Wasserman. Timothy Webb, and Susan J. Wolfson. A Chronology, rigorously updated Selected Bibliography, and Index of Titles and First Lines are also included.
