	Nature in Shelley and Wordsworth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		According to Shelley, nature is at once splendorous and deadly, a dynamic force that cannot be tamed by man. While appreciating nature's aesthetic majesty, Shelley warns man not to equate beauty with tranquility.
		Shelley was an atheist, a fact which certainly contributed to his vision of nature as a powerfully indifferent entity.
		Shelley seems to echo Pascal, who said, while gazing at the stars, "The silence of these infinite spaces terrifies me." Wordsworth, on the other hand, was a relatively solid and conservative member of the Church of England.

		Shelley was infamous for his views on the evils of marriage and the desirability of free love, and it is debated whether he practised the latter with Mary and Thomas Jefferson Hogg in 1815.
		Wordsworth praised Shelley for having one of the finest ears of his generation, which is as true a comment and as carefully delimited as claiming that Martin Luther King had a beautiful speaking voice.
		Shelley's American moment finally arrived in deconstruction, though that literary critical and philosophical mode was quite deaf to his political resonance – and especially to the ways in which his proto-deconstructive qualities often intertwined with his political interests.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Shelley begins his sonnet right away by addressing his subject as the "poet of nature," used almost ironically in this instance because, as the rest of the poem later reveals, it's clear that Shelley no longer considers the subject a true poet of nature.
		Shelley further praises the subject's previous accomplishments by comparing him to a "rock-built refuge" standing above "the blind and battling multitude (702)." Clearly Shelley saw the subject as an invaluable source of stability in a time of apparent instability, prompting him to write so affectionately of his exploits.
		It is here that Shelley makes an interesting comparison to the effect that the departure of Romantic virtues used to have on the subject with the effect that the subject's departure from his former ideologies has on Shelley.

		Shelley is infamous for his hope, a hope grounded in no lived reality, either personal or social, but merely (merely!) in a spiritual and aesthetic commitment to the future.
		Wordsworth displaces all that into a spiritual economy where disaster is self consciously transformed into the threat of disaster ("If this/ Be but a vain belief," 50 5 1; my italics), and where that threat, fading into a further range of self conscious anticipation, suddenly becomes a focus not of fear but of hope.
		Wordsworth in particular is said to have emulated Burns' subjects and language, but where Burns wrote as part of a small but intense revival of a long colloquial Scottish tradition, Wordsworth merely studied to affect such homeliness in English.

		Peacock, a good friend of Shelley, is an excellent satirist, and the "modern, scientific viewpoint" he takes up leads him to make some delicious comments about the romantic poets.

	Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1999 - Current Bibliography: Keats-Shelley Journal - Scholarly Resources, Romantic Circles
		"Shelley's theme of love and forgiveness in Prometheus Unbound elucidates how the causality of tyranny can be broken, while, at the same time, his literary form attempts to shatter the conceptions that poetry and drama are limited to the past, and prove that they are, in actuality, eternal and timeless" (76).
		The essay—a chapter from Takubo's 1997 dissertation on Shelley and Wordsworth—identifies a Power that is the source and inspiration of poetic creativity. Poets are those who are sensitive to the influences of this Power, and poets are thus moved "to produce poetry that inspires in people higher sentiments that direct society to a happier state.
		Zimmerman contends—on rather slender stylistic evidence—that Percy Shelley was a more prolific novelist than has been heretofore acknowledged. In effect, she claims that Shelley wrote novels (including Frankenstein) and then gave them to his friends to help them become established as writers.

	SparkNotes: Shelley’s Poetry: Themes, Motifs & Symbols
		Shelley’s poet is a near-divine savior, comparable to Prometheus, who stole divine fire and gave it to humans in Greek mythology, and to Christ.
		Because Shelley cannot be sure that the sublime powers he senses in nature are only the result of his gifted imagination, he finds it difficult to attribute nature’s power to God: the human role in shaping nature damages Shelley’s ability to believe that nature’s beauty comes solely from a divine source.
		Shelley sets many of his poems in autumn, including “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” and “Ode to the West Wind.” Fall is a time of beauty and death, and so it shows both the creative and destructive powers of nature, a favorite Shelley theme.

		Wordsworth and Shelley were not only friends; they also shared the same views of an unreachable supreme being.
		The similarity between “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” and Wordsworth’s poem “Ode: Intimations of Immortality” is that “Shelley laments his feeling that the presence of this power was stronger in his youth.” (Gale Research) In “Ode: Intimations of Immortality”, Wordsworth describes his losses as: “By night or day.

		Both Wordsworth and Shelley wrote in an age that felt a new appreciation for the sublime in the natural world.
		In "Tintern Abbey" Wordsworth writes about a "green pastoral landscape" (l.158) and he claims that "Nature never did betray/ The heart that loved her." (ll.122-123) He shows nature to be a gentle, nurturing force who teaches and soothes humanity.

		The verse of the English Romantic poets is as daunting in its scope and complexity as it is dazzling in its technique and beautiful in its language.
		Beginning his career in the flush of youth, Wordsworth was involved in radical political circles, but some speculate that, when in Germany, he was an agent for the British Foreign Office.
		Later in life, though, Wordsworth found himself comfortably ensconced as something of a celebrity, an elite country gentleman and the Poet Laureate, light years removed from the anxiety of his younger life.

		His temperament, perhaps moulded by the fact that he was born with a serious handicap in the form of a club foot, was one of skepticism and even cynicism, leading partly to his self-destructive behaviour, but also to the tone of ennui in much of his work, and even to his predominant mode, satire.
		Percy was greatly influenced by Wordsworth, and quite admired the older writer, even going up to the Lake District to try to visit him (Wordsworth wasn't in).
		The radical temper of the young Shelley got him into trouble more than once, as he was, for example, expelled from university for writing a pamphlet entitled The Necessity of Atheism, and later rejected Wordsworth for "selling out" to the conservative establishment.

		This notebook was used by Shelley in England (1817-18) to translate several of the Homeric Hymns and then, over the next several years, to draft short personal lyrics and difficult passages for longer public poems such as Prometheus Unbound, The Sensitive Plant, The Mask of Anarchy, and Epipsychidion.

		Shelley "privileges the traveler-poet's imagination as the site of cultural appropriation of and resistance to self and social disintegration."
