Autorenporträt

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was a profound English Romantic poet, considered by many to be among the finest lyric poets of the English language. Shelley was a radical in his poetry as well as his political and social views. Born into an affluent and aristocratic family, Shelley attended Eton and then Oxford, from which he was expelled for his controversial publication 'The Necessity of Atheism'. His literary career was marked with classic works such as 'Prometheus Unbound', 'Ozymandias', 'To a Skylark', and 'Adonais', an elegy written upon the death of his friend and fellow poet John Keats. Shelley's writing is characterized by his use of imagery, meditations on nature and beauty, and themes exploring political oppression and social injustice. His other essay, 'A Vindication of Natural Diet', published in 1813, is lesser-known but is a significant work that aligns with his radical ethos, advocating for vegetarianism based on the principles of health and ethics. Shelley's work often reflected the turmoil and idealism of his life; his personal conviction for reform permeated his writing, which remained influential throughout the nineteenth century and beyond. His untimely death by drowning at the age of 29 cut short his blossoming literary career, yet his influential works live on, inspiring readers and writers alike.
