SHELLEY: ADONAIS

Percy Bysshe Shelley belonged to the second generation of the Romantics. His poetry has always provoked strong reactions. He was idealised when he died just before his thirtieth birthday, and Matthew Arnold has called him “a beautiful and ineffectual angel, beating in the void his luminous wings in vain”, Adonais is also said to be more about himself than about his friend John Keats whom he laments in this elegy. Yet no one can deny its greatness and charm. The Present critical study, originally prepared by Dr. Raghukul Tilak, has now been thoroughly revised, edited and updated by Prof. Shakti Batra.
