Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shelley´s Prose in the Bodleian Manuscripts: Edited With Corrections, Additions, Notes and Unpublished Fragments In proportion as the fame of Shelley becomes wider and more settled, the study of his life and writings more impartial and accurate, a desire to add, however so little, to the fullness and precision of his utterances may also be thought more pardonable. As early as 1824 Mrs. Shelley felt something of that insatiate spirit which sooner or later must worship his slightest relics, when she wrote, introducing the Posthumous Poems, ´I have been more actuated by the fear lest any monument of his genius should escape me than the wish of presenting nothing but what was complete to the fastidious reader.´ Though fastidious readers of Shelley have become less numerous, his editors may well repeat, with apologetic and melancholy humility, these most judicious words. For the time has come when the minutiae of the scholar are about the only fresh tribute which one can bring to a classical fane. This edition is intended as a sequel to Mr. C. D. Locock´s valuable Examination of the verse included in the Bodleian MSS. at Oxford. But in this case, a full publication of the texts has been preferred to the less attractive form of a bare collation.
