Percy Bysshe Shelley, an influential English Romantic poet, was not widely recognized during his lifetime but achieved posthumous acclaim for his radical poetry and political views. His works, including “Ozymandias,” “Ode to the West Wind,” and “Adonais,” demonstrate his skill in various genres and verse forms, as well as his exploration of sceptical, idealist, and materialist concepts. Shelley’s writings on political, social, and philosophical topics resonated with diverse audiences and earned admiration from notable figures such as Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi, and George Bernard Shaw.
