Topic: Percy Bysse Shelley


  
  Percy Bysshe Shelley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Percy Bysshe Shelley (August 4, 1792 – July 8, 1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets and is widely considered to be among the finest lyric poets of the English language.
Shelley was the son of Sir Timothy Shelley, later the 2nd baronet of Castle Goring, and his wife Elizabeth Pilfold.
Shelley was given the choice to be reinstated after his father intervened, on the condition that he would have had to recant his avowed views.

The young Shelley was often seen indulging in his habit of sailing paper boats on the water of any nearby pond, lake or river, or reading with a book held right up to his eyes, lying very close to the fire.
Percy Shelley could not swim, and even though he had recently been involved in a boating accident in a canal one night in which he was nearly drowned, he and several friends decided to spend the summer of 1822 sailing on the Bay of Lerici.
Shelley's ashes were buried in the Protestant cemetery at Rome.

 STAINED PAGES: One Night in Geneva   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
It is easy for the reader to become confused as the character Anne, in 1984, is supposed to be Mary Shelley in 1816; she relives the "waking nightmare" that Mary had on the night of June 16th that went on to become the seeds of her novel.
Shelley fears being buried alive, Byron fears leaches, Mary fears that her child will be stillborn, and confesses to Polidori that she dreamed that her dead child (she gave birth to a girl that died a few days later) came back to life when she warmed it by the fire and rubbed its skin.
In Gothic, Percy Shelley sees eyes not on the breasts of his wife (we know this to be true), but on the breasts of her sister, Claire.

 Edinburgh Student Newspaper : Entertainment : A bit of franky panky?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Blood and Ice is the chilling, compelling and at times harrowing tale of three literary geniuses and one half sister: Mary Shelley, (daughter of political writers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin), Percy Bysse Shelley, (Mary’s husband, a utopian, romantic poet), Claire Clairmont (Mary’s step-sister) and finally Lord Byron - the promiscuous pin-up of the time.
Mary Shelley (Lucianne McAvoy) is the main narrator, having lived through the tragedies of her younger years, fraught with the deaths of her husband and children.
The death of her beloved children after the suicide of Percy’s first wife and the rumour that Percy has had an affair with Claire only adds to the wrath that already grows in her soul.

A week ago I lifted my hands to the morning, to its brilliance, and felt blindness; in that moment which glittered as centuries, the things I had already done were somehow done for him.
As Percy Bysse Shelley scrawled in some forgotten corner, "The flower that smiles today tomorrow dies"; he has gone, become lost, while I drift as a blind ferryman through shadowlands.
Without that unspoken purpose pulsing through my skin as sunshine, I no longer find the greatest love in those temporal motets; instead I feel the morose line of gregorian chant echoing within me, his cavernous absence a greater space to resonante in than the eldest cathedral.

 EMU The Romantic Spirit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The romantic poet was, in a way, a mediator between God and laymen, someone with a specific insight into a divine sphere, an insight which he tried to communicate to laymen through his poetry.
Remember that Mary Shelley was married to Percy Bysse Shelley who wrote Ode to the West Wind, and they both describe nature alike: as wild, destructive, but also inspiring and life giving, full of healing and soothing powers.
It is very common to read Mary Shelley’s novel as a criticism of the so-called “enlightened” civilised society of her day.

She stood beside him like a rainbow braided.
Most of Shelley’s poetry reveals his philosophy, a combination of belief in the power of human love and reason, and faith in the perfectibility and ultimate progress of man. His lyric poems are superb in their beauty, grandeur and mastery of language.

Built in 1800, and added to in later years, Plas Tan-yr-Allt hotel near Porthmadog is an attractive Regency-style house which was once, briefly, the home of poet Percy Bysse Shelley.
Whilst he was living at Plas Tan-yr-Allt Shelley was involved in a shooting incident which was a bit of a local scandal.
Details are rather sketchy, but it must have been pretty serious because Shelley fled to Ireland and didn’t return to Plas Tan-yr-Allt.

 Area51's Community Newspaper: Dark Shadows   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
On a dark and stormy night in 1816, a group of friends, talented and under the influence of narcotics, gathered together and agreed to tell each other horror stories to while away the rainy nights.
From this gathering came arguably the first modern horror novel; Frankenstein, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, but of her companions that night: her future husband Percy Bysse Shelley, their friend Lord Byron, Byron's lover 'Claire' Clairmont, and Byron's physician Dr Polidori; Mary was not alone in creating a lasting legend.
Polidori's tale -- the short story, The Vampyre -- though little known today, shaped the way that his contemporaries and future generations viewed the vampire.

Natasha Richardson stars as Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, who, with her poet husband Percy Bysse Shelley (Julian Sands), spends an inexplicably strange night at the home of Romantic icon Lord Byron (Gabriel Byrne) and a few other eccentric guests.
What ensues is an opiate-fueled nightmare of the truly bizarre nature for which director Russell is quite well known.
