Shelley and the Sublime by Angela Leighton (Cambridge University Press, 1984)

Shelley and the Sublime

An Interpretation of the Major Poems

This significant contribution to Shelley studies will interest all serious students of English Romantic poetry and aesthetics.

Angela Leighton (Author)

9780521272025, Cambridge University Press

Paperback / softback, published 1 March 1984

208 pages

21.6 x 14 x 1.2 cm, 0.27 kg

This book presents a major reassessment of Shelley's poetry. Whereas other criticism has stressed the philosophical and political concerns of his poetry in isolation, Angela Leighton argues that Shelley's philosophy and politics are presented as problems of poetic utterance and are this inseparable from his aesthetics. The author begins by tracing the origins of Shelley's poetic theory in eighteenth-century ideas of the sublime. She then discusses the effect of such a theory on the language of seven of Shelley's most important poems including 'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty', Prometheus Unbound, 'Ode to the West Wind', 'To a Skylark']
