Harriet and Percy Eloped with 16-year-old Harriet Westbrook to Scotland. Percy was 19 at that time Daughter Ianthe, son Charles

Harriet’s death In the winter of 1816 drowned herself in the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park Her body was found far advanced in pregnancy Percy and Mary got married Harriet’s death note: "I could never be anything but a source of vexation and misery to you all.... Too wretched to exert myself, lowered in the opinion of everyone, why should I drag on a miserable existence?"

Italy and Percy’s death Moved to Italy in 1818 Sailed on ‘Don Juan’ Sank in a storm in 1822 Ashes in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome Shelley's heart was snatched from the funeral pyre by Trelawny. Mary Shelley kept it and it was later buried with the body of their son Memorialized at the Poets’ Corner at Westminster Abbey

Shelley Memorial sculpted by Edward Onslow Ford at University College, Oxford

Shelley’s poetry Beauty Passions Nature Political liberty Creativity Sanctity of the imagination The imagination is the source of sympathy, compassion, and love Had a philosophical relationship to his subject Shelley’s temperament, which was extraordinarily sensitive and responsive Emphasized the connection between beauty and goodness Believed in the power of art’s sensual pleasures The figure of the poet – a grand, tragic, prophetic hero

His works first publication „Zastrozzi” “The Necessity of Atheism” first serious long work “Queen Mab: A Philosophical Poem” “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” “Mont Blanc” “Julian and Maddalo” “Prometheus Undbound” “Adonais” "Ozymandias" “Ode To The West Wind”

As I lay asleep in Italy... As I lay asleep in Italy, There came a voice from over the Sea, And with great power it forth led me To walk in the visions of Poesy. I met Murder on the way - He had a mask like Castlereagh - Very smooth he looked, yet grim; Seven blood-hounds followed him; All were fat; and well they might Be in admirable plight, For one by one, and two by two, He tossed them human hearts to chew Which from his wide cloak he drew. Next came Fraud, and he had on, Like Eldon, an ermined gown; His big tears, for he wept well, Turned to millstones as they fell.

THE END Thank you
