Krátky popis
Waterlow gives a brief, unpretentious account of the life and works
of Percy Bysshe Shelley, who is regarded as one of the finest lyric
poets of the English language. Not merely a biography of events,
this is an analysis of the age in which Shelley lived his almost 30
years (1792-1822), the character of the young man, and the messages
embodied in Shelley's poems. A few quotes:"In the case of most
great writers our interest in them as persons is derived from our
interest in them as writers; we are not very curious about them
except for reasons that have something to do with their art. With
Shelley it is different. During his life he aroused fears and
hatreds, loves and adorations, that were quite irrelevant to
literature; and even now, when he has become a classic, he still
causes excitement as a man.""The object of these pages is not to
idealise either his life, his character, or his works. The three
are inseparably connected, and to understand one we must understand
all.""... he happened to be steeped in philosophical ways of
thinking. The forms in which he gave it expression are
predominantly melancholy, because this kind of idealism, with its
insistence on the unreality of evil, is the recoil from life of an
unsatisfied and disappointed soul. His philosophy of love is but a
special case of this all-embracing doctrine.""Of all his verse, it
is these songs about nature and love that every one knows and likes
best. And, in fact, many of them seem to satisfy what is perhaps
the ultimate test of true poetry: they sometimes have the power,
which makes poetry akin to music, of suggesting by means of words
something which cannot possibly be expressed in words."Waterlow
illustrates his analysis of Shelley with many excerpts from
Shelley's poems. If the reader wants to understand Shelley, this
book would be a good place to start, even before reading the poetry
itself.(Since the original book was published prior to 1923, it is
in the public domain in the United States. It may be in the public
domain in other countries, based upon the date the author died.)
