PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY,

Previous

Born 1792.—Died 1822.—George III.—George IV.

A poet of the most extraordinary genius and imagination, was born in Sussex. Some of his writings are unfortunately tinged with infidelity and false beliefs. His translations from the Greek and longer poems are very beautiful, especially the Prometheus Unbound. Shelley was drowned in the Bay of Spezzia in Italy.
