{"product_id":"the-major-works-2","title":"The Major Works","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThis major new edition, originally commissioned for the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode, brings together a unique combination of Shelley's poetry and prose - the lyric poems, plays, longer poems, criticism, and essays - to give the essence of his work and thinking.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePercy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was a Romantic poet of radical imaginings, living in an age of change. His tempestuous life and friendship with Byron, and his tragically early death, at times threatened to overwhelm his legacy as a poet, but today his standing as one of the foremost English authors is assured. This freshly edited anthology - the fullest one-volume selection in English - includes all but one of the longer poems, from \u003cem\u003eQueen Mab\u003c\/em\u003e onwards, in their entirety. Only \u003cem\u003eLaon and Cythna\u003c\/em\u003e is excerpted, in a generous selection. As well as works such as\u003cem\u003ePrometheus Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Mask of Anarchy\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAdonais\u003c\/em\u003e, the volume includes a wide range of Shelley's shorter poems and much of his major prose, including \u003cem\u003eA Defence of Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e and almost all of \u003cem\u003eA Philosophical View of Reform\u003c\/em\u003e. Shelley emerges from these pages as a passionate and eloquent opponent of tyranny and a champion of human possibility. \u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
