Shelley's Adonais : a critical edition by
Percy Bysshe Shelley(
Book
)
183 editions published between 1821 and 2016 in 6 languages and held by 1,216 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Along with John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron are generally considered the second generation of the great English Romantic poets. Shelley was an admirer of Keats's work, and though a few of the letters they exchanged reveal the somewhat rocky nature of their friendship, Shelley graciously invited Keats to join him at his residence at Pisa as his health declined. Keats, instead, removed himself to Rome, where he succumbed to tuberculosis in a villa on the Spanish Steps. Immediately after hearing of his death, Shelley began to compose Adonaïs, an elegy to Keats that is now considered among Shelley's best and most renowned works. Along with Shelley's achingly beautiful tribute, this 1891 volume features brief memoirs of both Shelley and Keats, cancelled passages of the poem, and extensive analysis by English writer and critic William Michael Rossetti

Prometheus unbound, a variorum edition by
Percy Bysshe Shelley(
Book
)
90 editions published between 1820 and 2014 in 8 languages and held by 1,108 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Prometheus Unbound is a four act lyric play it was not written to be performed as a play but staged within the imagination of the reader. It is a reply to Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound which has the hero stealing fire from the gods to give to mortals. Many think this work is Shelley's masterpiece as it represents a culmination of the poet's political thought and displays his considerable gift of lyrical expression. The play was written over 4 years as its progress was severely impeded by the tragic death of first his daughter Clara Everina in 1818 and then his son William in 1819. The fourth act, a warning that evil must be checked lest tyranny reign, was added many months after the first three had been completed and revised. Shelley compares his Prometheus to Milton's Satan in Paradise Lost: But Prometheus is, as it were, the type of the highest perfection of moral and intellectual nature, impelled by the purest and the truest motives to the best and noblest ends

The Cenci by
Percy Bysshe Shelley(
Book
)
89 editions published between 1819 and 2013 in 10 languages and held by 590 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This is a verse drama written in the summer of 1819, and inspired by a real Italian family, the Cencis. Shelley composed the play at Rome and at Villa Valsovano near Livorno, from May to 5 August 1819. The work was published by Charles and James Ollier, in London in 1819. Shelley sought to have the play staged, describing it as totally different from anything you might conjecture that he should write; of a more popular kind written for the multitude. The play was not considered performable in its day due to its themes of incest and parricide, and was not performed in public in England until 1922 when it was staged in London. This is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series which contains classical literature works from over two thousand years. Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of international literature classics available in printed format again - worldwide
