Behrendt Romantic Circles 2007 Bieri's detailed presentations and thoughtful analyses make this an especially admirable volume... This could well become the standard Shelley biography. Essential. Choice 2005 It is the life of the subject that really carries this book. Shelley's life was indeed sensational, tragic, and still contains mystery enough to stretch the mind... The achievement of this book is in its gathering together and careful presentation of evidence. It is the unfortunate life of Shelley that grips the reader throughout. -- Sharon Ruston Times Literary Supplement 2005 The young Shelley that emerges from this well-researched biography, the outcome of many years' work, is in part the product of family personalities and tensions, but Bieri also respects the strength of Shelley's own opinions. -- Elizabeth Helsinger SEL Studies in English Literature 2006 A quietly magisterial feat of scholarship... All those who admire Shelley's work or wish to find out more about his life will gain much from these superbly researched and executed volumes. -- Michael O'Neill Keats-Shelley Journal 2006 An impressively comprehensive and frequently exciting work. -- Rebecca Oppenheimer Howard County Times 2009 This is a work sure to become an indispensable resource for the next generation of Shelley scholars. -- Rowland Weston Cercles 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Youth's Unextinguished Fire, 1792–1816\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
