His major long visionary Alastor , The Revolt of Islam , and the unfinished The Triumph of Life .
Unconventional life and uncompromising idealism of Percy Bysshe Shelley combined with his strong skeptical voice to make an authoritative and much denigrated figure during his life. He became the idol of the next two or three generations, the major Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite Robert Browning, Alfred Tennyson, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Algernon Charles Swinburne, as well as William Butler Yeats and in other languages, such as Jibanananda Das and Subramanya Bharathy .

His best accomplishment was being Mary Shelly’s husband.

Embarrassing though it may be, I re-read Shelley's major works after the Breaking Bad episode this season titled, "Ozymandias." If you read nothing else, read Ozymandias and Masque of Anarchy -- very relevant in these times.

Better than all measures
Of delightful sound,
Better than all treasures
That in books are found,
Thy skill to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!
Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then, as I am listening now.
Percy Bysshe Shelley may have been a cad, coward & a man with a seriously skewed moral compass, but he was also an excellent poet. Shelley's view of the world from the height of romanticism often reflected emotions of the extremes. Either utterly rapturous, or in total despair, he was a man who knew little of moderation.
An outcast of society, often of his own volition, & largely overlooked in his own time, Shelley's writings persevere today because of the loyalty, however undue we may deem it to have been, of his wife, whom he preceded in death. As harsh as my own thoughts of the person of Percy Bysshe Shelley are, perhaps Mary knew his value far more intimately than any other. This we can agree on at least, he knew few equals & we may both let his own words prove his worth.

It’s a little ridiculous to give a star rating to a classic poet’s life work. I feel like I have to explain. The quality of the poetry is of course magnificent in craftsmanship. I also think that Shelly, and Byron and that whole crew were kind of high on themselves and their ability to spin beautiful words. Some of this (especially the last of it chronologically) is really wonderful and resonant. A lot of it is just gorgeousness in place of substance. Not everything can be elevated because you made a poem about it. Sorry Shelly.
Anyway, it was good to dive in, though.

What the hell is he on about. None of the things he is talking about are Real

Read this for the sections of letters to his wife and friends which I enjoyed more than his published works.

It's not you, Percy. It's me. I'm just not sensitive, educated, or patient enough to appreciate you. You have your admirers, so you won't miss me. Can we be friends?
