Book Reviews of Shelley's Poetry and Prose (Norton Critical Edition)
Book Review: "Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass/Stains the white radiance of eternity."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best edition of Shelley's poetry (though the new Oxford is quite good). Shelley is our most abstract and philosophical poet: his subjects are color, light, hope, love, time, truth, image, reality. He seems to write on a constant a strain of magnificence, so that stunning lines, like the one I quoted above, litter every page. Though he is undeniably beautiful, he is a difficult poet. His apparent sweetness, his tendency to write about beautiful objects of transcendence, can sometimes mask the darker elements of his thinking. As such, there are some excellent pieces in here by Earl Wasserman, Harold Bloom, William Keach and others to help get a sense of Shelley's idealist universe.
