Summary "PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY" by John Addington Symonds is a biographical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and contributions of the renowned English poet, tracing his early years, education, relationships, and philosophical inclinations that shaped his poetry and ideology. The work serves not only as a biography but also reflects on the complexities of Shelley's genius and the consequences of his unconventional beliefs in a society resistant to change. The opening of the biography introduces Shelley's childhood, emphasizing both his familial background and the unique qualities that set him apart from his contemporaries. It presents key themes of his life, including his struggles with authority, the early formation of his radical ideas, and his passionate nature, as evidenced by anecdotes from his youth. Symonds highlights the tension between Shelley’s creative individuality and the societal conventions of his time, providing insight into his relationships and aspirations. This groundwork paves the way for a deeper exploration of the events in Shelley's life that will follow as he matures into one of the most significant poetic voices of his era.
