Book
)
156 editions published between 1877 and 2020 in 4 languages and held by 1,920 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Shelley, Symonds writes, was more than a controversial atheist. He was full of earnest conviction, enthusiasm, and intellectual vigour, but also extravagance, crudity and presumption. Published in 1878 in the first series of English Men of Letters, this book thus provides an account of a literary life famously cut short, describing a writer
