A POETIC SPOKESMAN OF IDEALISM.
Salient Facts in his Life. Born in Sussex : precocious imagination, in which the " child is father to the man " : educa- tion at Eton and Oxford : poems first issued, 1810 : expelled from Oxford for his pamphlet on The Necessity of Atheism : wandering existence at home and abroad : his desertion of his wife due to his theories of the relation between the sexes : friendship with Byron and Leigh Hunt : residence in Italy : Adonais, his elegy on Keats : drowned in t...he Bay of Spezzia, grasping a volume of Keats' poems.
Characteristics. Like Byron, Shelley is consistently revolu- tionary : still his opposition to religion is keenest in his earlier work, and might have waned had he lived longer : Shelley has more imagination than Byron : revolutionary discontent combines in Shelley with an ardent idealism : he is as much influenced by Plato's " ideal " philosophy as by Godwin's Political Justice : his buoyancy leads to belief in progress and in the perfectibility of the race : idealism explains his optimism : Shelley may be called a revolutionary optimist and Byron a revolutionary pessimist : development traceable in his poems : a poetic philosophy permeates all his typical work : Queen Mab faulty but promising, and instinct with hopes of a golden age to come for mankind : Alastor less hopeful and based on his own un- satisfied craving after a perfect ideal : Revolt of Islam, a battle for freedom, culminating, after the death of Laon and Cythna, in their bliss in a supernal world, of which the present is a mere phantasmal shadow : increase of his power during his residence in Italy : Prometheus Unbound contains fullest expression of his aspirations after a regenerated world : general features of the drama : differences from the Greek spirit : how its chief charac- ters represent great conceptions : Prometheus the spirit of benefi- cence in humanity : Asia the spirit of beneficence in nature : their union is symbolic of ideal happiness : this is an imaginative [ picture of much that appears in Wordsworth : the lyric element in the Prometheus : how its idealism compares with the idealism of the Faerie Queenr, : Shelley deals with man, not in relation to polite society like Pope, nor in relation to simple surroundings like Wordsworth, nor in relation to romantic past like Scott, but in relation to man's higher destinies : he thus easily becomes vision- ary and abstract, and harder to understand than a poet of concrete everyday existence : his intangible conceptions consti- tute the difficulty, but at the same time the peculiar merit of his poetry, as in Epipsyehidion : attitude towards nature seen in Adonais.
