The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley

This text makes available critically edited clear texts of all poems and translations that Shelley published or circulated among friends, as well as diplomatic texts of his significant incomplete poetic drafts and fragments. The multi-volume edition is arranged in order of first circulation. This first volume includes Shelley’s first four works containing poetry (all prepared for publication before his expulsion from Oxford), as well as The Devil’s Walk (circulated 1812), a series of short poems that he sent to friends between 1809 and 1810, including a bawdy satire on his parents. An appendix discusses poems lost or erroneously attributed to the young Shelley.
