All Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley - English writer, poet and essayist. The views of Shelley are in many ways the same as the ideas of the Enlightenment. This was expressed in his disregard for the beliefs and teachings of the past, faith in the almighty human mind. Godwin''s "political justice," fully imbued with the ideas of revolutionary anarchism of the 1790s, became his gospel very early; but Godwin''s ideas were transformed by Shelley into a kind of bold poetry. Many, at the same time, find the images used by the author in their works extremely artistic and skillful. As a poet, Shelley belongs to the beginning of the nineteenth century, to an era that is commonly called romanticism. Shelly''s poetic talent, therefore, does not quite correspond to his worldview. Shelley''s duality as a rationalist and romantic, thinker and artist, preacher and poet, is the most characteristic feature of his genius.
