History of A Six Weeks' Tour: Through a part of France, Switzerland, Germany, and Holland: with Letters Descriptive of a Sail Round the Lake of Geneva, and of the Glaciers of Chamouni

"'I never knew—I never imagined what mountains were before.' History of a Six Weeks' Tour (1817) is a volume of travel-writing by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and Percy Bysshe Shelley, two of the best-known authors of the English Romantic period. Comprising prose narrative, correspondence, and poetry, it is a highly engaging account of their 'adventures and feelings' during two journeys from England to Switzerland. The first part of History describes the titular 'tour' made by the not-yet-married Mary and Percy in July–September 1814, when mainland Europe was once again accessible to British travellers at the end of the Napoleonic wars. The long descriptive letters which make up the second part of History recall the so-called 'Frankenstein summer' of 1816, some of which the Shelleys spent with Byron on the shores of Lake Geneva. This part of History also provides significant biographical and historical context for Mary's novels Frankenstein (1818) and The Last Man (1826), key sections of which are set in the Alps, and for two of Percy's most canonical poems, 'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty' and 'Mont Blanc', the second of which was published for the first time in History. This edition includes an introduction, detailed notes, and appendices, placing the book in its historical and cultural context and showcasing the Shelleys' collaborative writing process."

Born in England – Exploring English Poetry - The South-West

"Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.This long limb of England pushes into the Atlantic yet from its ancient past until today its creative contribution is woven in gloried threads into the culture of the whole Nation."

The Necessity of Atheism

"The Necessity of Atheism By Percy Bysshe Shelley Introduction by Henry S. Salt. Narrated by Oberon Michaels The Necessity of Atheism was first published by Shelley in 1811. In 1813 he printed a revised and expanded version of it as one of the notes to his poem Queen Mab. Shelley evinced a searing contempt for organized religion but maintained a belief in a benevolent non-sectarian World Spirit. in the opening statement of this pamphlet, he makes clear the nature of his qualified deism : 'There is no God. This negation must be understood solely to affect a creative Deity. The hypothesis of a pervading Spirit co-eternal with the universe remains unshaken.' Production copyright 2024 Voices of Today"

Elegies & Laments

"In these more modern time perhaps our first thoughts of an Elegy or a Lament is for someone's passing. Wreathed in grief and death we think of a headstone on a silent grave and the memories that shelter within our hearts, slowly receding from one generation to the next, as an often lonely voice extols the virtues and traits of the one who has passed. But these two very early forms of poetry, dating back to at least Ovid and probably further, are also surprising in their lyrical touch. These are not just mournful and sad but also whimsical or rich with celebration and tribute as they journey through joy, laughter, love, tears and comfort. Our Classic Poets, who have specifically chosen to include the form in the title of their work, include the likes of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas Chatterton, Aphra Behn, Rainer Maria Rilke, Radclyffe Hall and many others of equal measure are always surprising in their views, their analysis and their sharing of words and thoughts, offering feelings that mirror our own and provide a balm of many hues for our wounded and tender souls. 1 - Elegies and Laments - An Introduction 2 - Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray 3 - The Lament of Swordy Well by John Clare 4 - An Elegy on a Pile of Ruins by John Cunningham 5 - Lament by Rainer Maria Rilke 6 - Elegy - Supposed to Be Written in Barnet Churchyard by George Townsend 7 - Elegy by Thomas Chatterton 8 - A Lament by Radclyffe Hall 9 - An Elegy by Ben Jonson 10 - Laeta - A Lament by HP Lovecraft 11 - Angellica's Lament by Aphra Behn 12 - Amores - Book I Elegy V - Corinna in an Afternoon by Ovid 13 - Morning Lament by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 14 - The Wind's Lament by John Morris-Jones 15 - Noon Day Elegiacs by T W Rolleston 16 - Midnight Lamentation by Harold Munro 17 - February.
