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.
