Produktbeschreibung

In "Notes to the Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley," Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley delves into the complexities of her husband'Äôs poetry, offering insightful commentary that enriches the reader'Äôs understanding of romantic literature. Combining analytical rigor with personal reflections, she unravels the thematic depth of Shelley'Äôs work, including his radical politics, exploration of nature, and profound engagements with humanity. Shelley's poetic style, characterized by emotional intensity and imaginative richness, is contextualized against the backdrop of the burgeoning Romantic movement, revealing both his genius and the turbulent era in which he wrote. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, renowned for her own groundbreaking work in speculative fiction, particularly "Frankenstein," was profoundly influenced by her intellectual milieu and her relationship with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her acute sensitivity to the philosophical and emotional intricacies of his writing stemmed from their deep personal connection and mutual engagement with Enlightenment ideals. This unique perspective allows her to present Shelley's poetry not merely as isolated artworks but as interconnected meditations on the human experience. I highly recommend this scholarly work to readers who wish to deepen their appreciation of Percy Bysshe Shelley'Äôs contributions to poetry and the Romantic movement. Wollstonecraft Shelley'Äôs notes serve as both a guide and a lens, illuminating the multifaceted nature of her husband's thoughts and motivations, thus offering a richer engagement with his poetic legacy.

Autorenporträt

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (August 30, 1797 - February 1, 1851) was an English novelist best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is regarded as an early form of science fiction. She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley, a Romantic poet and philosopher. Her father was political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. Mary's mother died 11 days after she was born. Her father reared her and provided her with a rich, though informal, education, urging her to follow his own anarchist political ideas. When Mary was four, her father married a neighbor, Mary Jane Clairmont, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship. Mary began a relationship with one of her father's political supporters, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was already married, in 1814. She and Percy left for France with her stepsister, Claire Clairmont, and traveled through Europe. Mary was pregnant with Percy's child when they returned to England. She and Percy experienced ostracism, persistent debt, and the death of their prematurely born daughter during the next two years. They married in late 1816, after Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet, committed herself.
