Edited With Introduction and Notes By W. J. Alexander: Select Poems of Shelley. Athenaeum Press Series, U S A Ginn and Co ; fester Einband / hard cover

Cloth Very Good/No Jacket First Thus 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hadrback Hardback. Slight wear to top and bottom edge of spine and corners of cloth. Green cloth with gilt lettering. In accordance with the general plan of the Anthenaeum Press Series, the aim of the present volume is to afford a suitable selection of Shelley's Poems for the student and the general reader, and to give some help towards the understanding and appreciation of a writer whose spirit and whose power are confessedly not always apparent on a merely casual perusal. The text of the poems is, with a few variations, that of Mr. Forman's latest edition of Shelley's poetical works in the Aldine Series. The arrangement of the selections is as nearly as may be chronological. it hs been deemed adivsable to limit the choice to complete poems; fragmentarypieces and extracts have been excluded, with the exception of three passages from hellas, which lose little by separation from their context. 387 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.)

Percy Bysshe Shelley: THE WANDERING JEW: A POEM, Limited edition, Shelley Society, 1887

120pp small quarto. One of only twenty-one privately printed large paper copies. This edition edited by Bertram Dobell. Deckle edges. Original publisher's boards. Slight wear to backstrip and boards, otherwise fine. * While at Eton, Shelley and Tom Medwin had collaborated (writing alternate chapters) to a novel called "The Nightmare." It was never completed but part of it was later put into verse and called "The Wandering Jew." Medwin's contradictory accounts of the poem were one of the reasons this had not appeared in one of the important collections of Shelley's works earlier. As in the case of "Original Poems of Victor and Cazire" it was one of the poems partially copied from Monk Lewis and also a volume of "Cambridge Prize Poems." (White)

Percy Bysshe Shelley. The Major Works (Oxford World's Classics). Oxford University Press, USA, 2003
0192813749 From the Publisher Percy 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 collection--the fullest one-volume selection in English--includes all but one of the longer poems, from Queen Mab onwards, in their entirety. Only Laon and Cythna is excerpted, in a generous selection. As well as works such asPrometheus Unbound, The Mask of Anarchy, and Adonais, the volume includes a wide range of Shelley's shorter poems and much of his major prose, including A Defence of Poetry and almost all of A Philosophical View of Reform. Shelley emerges from these pages as a passionate and eloquent opponent of tyranny and a champion of human possibility.
