Abstract:
What does it mean that Shelley publicly mourns the death a living Wordsworth in his poetry? This essay argues that Percy Bysshe Shelley's renunciation of a narrow concept of selfhood not only informs, but germinates, his psychological and political principles, and in the process shapes his response to William Wordsworth—not as an “egotistical” poet, but as one who paradoxically and enviably escapes mutability by being ontologically identified with forms of non-life. I argue that Shelley brilliantly (and correctly) attributes this position to Wordsworth's poetic thought through his own poetic thinking in works such as Peter Bell the Third, and that Shelley also finds such an alignment incomprehensible. His construction of Wordsworth is a skeptical dialectician's disavowal of mute or dull inclusion. The essay attends to Shelley's treatment of Wordsworth in connection to Shelley's performative speech acts of inversion: life-death; heaven-hell; blessing-curse. Shelley abjures Wordsworth for excessive love for otherwise inanimate things; for ‘ma[king] alive | The things it wrought on’ and awakening slumberous ‘thought in sense’.

Abstract:
Dying before one’s time has been a prominent theme in classic literature and poetry. Catherine Linton’s youthful death in Wuthering Heights leaves behind a bereft Heathcliff and generations of mourning readers. The author herself, Emily Brontë, died young from tuberculosis. John Keats’ Ode on Melancholy captures the transitory beauty of 19th century human lives too often ravished by early death. Keats also died of tuberculosis, aged 25. “The bloom, whose petals nipped before they blew, died on the promise of the fruit” is how Percy Bysshe Shelley expressed his grief over Keats’ death. Emily Dickinson wrote So Has a Daisy Vanished, being driven into depression by the early loss of loved ones from typhoid and tuberculosis.

Abstract:
Among the Abinger Papers in the Bodleian Library is a document, MS. Abinger c. 73, fols. 99–104, the testimony of one William Tyler, a draper’s assistant from Marlow, Buckinghamshire who wrote poems and saw the Shelleys plain. Jane, Lady Shelley (the wife of the Shelleys’ only surviving son, Sir Percy Florence) gathered as many reminiscences of her father-in-law as she could. Tyler’s is by far the longest. (Appended to this essay is a transcription of his testimony reproduced in full for the first time). Tyler has been virtually erased from the literary and biographical records of the Shelleys, save for one footnote. Edward Dowden made use of his testimony for The Life of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1886), but whilst some of Tyler’s words are artfully deployed to bolster the memories of another, others are cut from the record altogether. This essay tells the remarkable story of Tyler, a man unknown to fame, who deserves to be remembered. For one, he provides the only surviving verbatim record of the contents of a journal kept by Mary Shelley which covered the events of May 1815 to June 1816. Who was William Tyler and how did he come to turn those lost pages?

Abstract:
Abstract Jeanette Winterson’s latest novel, Frankissstein: A Love Story (2019), was written as a contribution to the world-wide celebrations of the second centenary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Evincing the characteristic excessiveness and parodic stance of the postmodern romance, it alternates two interlocked story lines. The first, narrated by Mary Shelley, is situated during her own life span and populated by Mary herself, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, John William Polidori and Claire Clairmont. The second, situated in 2018, is narrated by Dr Ry Shelley, a transgender medical doctor who sells body parts to Prof. Victor Stein, a cutting-edge researcher in Artificial Intelligence. The essay argues that for all its parodic doubleness, temporal circularity, thematic enmeshment and palimpsestic structure, the novel draws a clear-cut distinction between the Idealist conception of subjectivity endorsed by the male Romantic poets that leads to Prof. Stein’s transmodern conception of a future universe colonised by bodiless enhanced humans, and Mary Shelley’s affectively charged conception of embodied subjectivity that foreruns Ry Shelley’s posthuman conception of fluid subjectivity.

Abstract:
This article argues that lyric poetry is a form suited to contesting dominant ideas about masculinity because of its thematic and formal preoccupations with voice. It argues that voice offers a different way of viewing the social constrictions that accompany male experiences of ageing to the well-known theory of the mask of ageing. Through a study of a long history of Western lyric verse, which includes writers such as William Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost and Philip Larkin, the article explores the significance of restricted breathing in relation to dominant norms of masculine reticence and the physiological deterioration of the vocal profile in age. It then explores the possibility of counter-voicings of masculinity in poems with intergenerational themes from a group of post-war British poets.

Abstract:
In the platonic dialogue Ion, Socrates clarifies that poetic creation is a result of inspiration but not of knowledge. As a gift from the Muses, poetry cannot even have a didactic role; since it is not rational and does not constitute a product of right reason, it cannot satisfy the needs of the person who aspires to the acquisition of wisdom. This insistence of Plato on the potential moral deficiency of poetry proves that only epistemological criteria can assist the political balances that are required in his ideal Polis. Since poetry is mimesis and a subcategory of rhetoric, it is deduced that it stands far from the truth. For Philip Sidney, however, in his critique of Plato’s views, the poet is directly connected with “poiein”, the act of creating. As a creator, he is close to the truth, and he is an owner of the Idea, to which he urges other human beings. As such, the poet is a stronger intellectual figure than the philosopher, due to the fact that he does not abstractly think of moral values but helps to proliferate them. The poet never lies, despite what Plato claims, because the poet never confirms the knowledge of anything, quite unlike the philosopher. Shelley, on the other hand, places great emphasis on the role of imagination within the context of poetic work. He declares that poetic imagination exceeds the borders of reason, thus being rendered the only human faculty that can not only see the ideal forms that Plato is enthusiastic about but also is capable of competently expressing the “eternal truth of life”. The two English poets are in accord about poetry signifying unity and harmony, not only with the abstract truth of the world but with virtue and law as well, providing the human being with the right ontological orientation.

Abstract:
This essay explores Percy Shelley’s The Triumph of Life as a strategic revival of Lucretian poetic science: a materialism fit to connect the epochal, romantic interest in biological life to the period’s pressing new sense of its own historicity. Shelley mobilizes Lucretian natural simulacra to show how personal bodies produce and integrate passages of historical time, exercising a poetics of transience that resists the triumphalism characteristic of both historiography and vitalist biology in the post-Waterloo period. Representing aging faces as mutable registers of the “living storm” of a post-Napoleonic interval, The Triumph depicts the face-giving trope of prosopopoeia as the unintended work of multitudes—demonstrating a nineteenth-century possibility of thinking biological, historical, and rhetorical materialisms together.

Abstract:
B. Shelley and John Keats are noted Romantic poets and their works are celebrated. In this article, Percy Bysshe Shelly’s “To a Skylark” and John Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale” have been appreciated. The skylark and the nightingale seem to be similar birds while reading the poems simultaneously. Shelley glorifies the skylark’s song and Keats immortalizes the nightingale due to its melodious song. The article, structured in four headings- Introduction, Appreciating, The Un-bodied Voices and Conclusion, introduces the poets and their aforesaid poems. It appreciates both the poems in matter of the contrasts and commonalties between the birds, the major themes in the poems, the poets’ power of imagination and the un-bodied voices in the poems. It makes a quest for how the un-bodied voices in the poems represent idealism in contrast to the harsh reality of life. To appreciate the poems and further strengthen the ideas, the poets’ respective poems and books by various writers have been consulted. The article concludes that the songs of the skylark and the nightingale are the un-bodied voices which symbolize beauty, purity, perfection and freedom. These un-bodied voices are in contrast to the harsh reality of human life on the earth.

Full text
Abstract:
The title of this thesis, Life after Life, cites an essay by Jacques Derrida where he translates the title of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s last poem ‘The Triumph of Life’ into life’s triumph, a life after life, or else a living on, sur-vivre, Über-leben. The latter term, Überleben, is in its turn a citation from Walter Benjamin’s essay ‘The Task of the Translator’ where Benjamin conceptualises the life of literary works as their afterlife in future readings. This comparative reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Walter Benjamin begins with this intersection in the afterlives of their works. I explore their reception in contemporary literary theory with the dual aim of reading Shelley and Benjamin and reading how they have been read by other critics. The thesis is written under the ‘Creative Critical Writing’ strand of the Comparative Literature PhD, which has allowed me to develop my methodology in response to the material that I study. Central themes include translation, autobiography, disfiguration, poetic histories of language, the problems of historical representation, ekphrasis, tragedy, violence, and, finally, forgiveness as a force stronger than violence. I focus on Shelley’s translation of the Homeric ‘Hymn to Mercury,’ ‘The Triumph of Life,’ ‘The Defence of Poetry,’ ‘The Cloud,’ ‘On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery,’ and The Cenci. Of Benjamin’s works I read ‘On Language as Such and on the Language of Man,’ ‘The Task of the Translator,’ ‘Doctrine of the Similar’ and ‘On the Mimetic Faculty.’ Furthermore, I look at his ‘Critique of Violence,’ ‘Goethe’s Elective Affinities,’ Berlin Childhood around 1900, some of the methodological notes in ‘Convolute N’ of The Arcades Project, and ‘On the Concept of History.’

Abstract:
Abstract The modest number of sonnets Percy Bysshe Shelley composed during his brief literary career reflect remarkable stylistic diversity, justifying Words­ worth’s assessment of him as “one of the best artists of us all” in terms of “workmanship of style.” Shelley’s sonnets reflect, too, many of his strongest political and philosophical views, from the pained dismay he expresses at Wordsworth’s increased conservativism in “To Wordsworth,” to the apocalyptic litany he chants in condemnation of George Ill’s debilitated government in “England in 1819.” His passionate and unconventional views led to controversy during his lifetime. Shelley spent the final years of his life in Europe, where he produced such important works as Prometheus Unbound (1820), “Ode to the West Wind” (1820), and Epipsychidion (1821).

Abstract Stanzas Written in Dejection Near Naples The sun is warm, the sky is clear, The waves are dancing fast and bright, Blue isles and snowy mountains wear The purple noon’s transparent might, The breath of the moist earth is light, Around its unexpanded buds; Like many a voice of one delight The winds, the birds, the ocean floods, The city’s voice itself, is soft like Solitude’s. I see the deep’s untrampled floor With green and purple seaweeds strown; I see the waves upon the shore, Like light dissolved in star-showers, thrown: I sit upon the sands alone,— The lightning of the noontide ocean Is flashing round me, and a tone Arises from its measured motion, How sweet! did any heart now share in my emotion. Alas! I have nor hope nor health, Nor peace within nor calm around, Nor that content surpassing wealth The sage in meditation found, And walked with inward glory crowned— Nor fame, nor power, nor love, nor leisure, Others I see whom these surround— Smiling they live, and call life pleasure;— To me that cup has been dealt in another measure. Yet now despair itself is mild, Even as the winds and waters are;
