Poetry Appreciation Society-Percy Shelley- Thursday, September 3 at 6:00 p.m. (Study Cove)

Bring your love of poetry! We will look at the poetry of Percy Shelley on Thursday, September 3.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (born August 4, 1792, Field Place, near Horsham, Sussex, England—died July 8, 1822, at sea off Livorno, Tuscany [Italy]) was an English poet who, with John Keats and Lord Byron, was a major figure among the second generation of English Romantic writers. Of the three, Shelley was the most politically radical. His passionate search for personal love and social justice was gradually channeled from overt actions into poems that rank with the greatest in the English language.
