About the author

Percy Bysshe Shelley

1792–1822

A leading voice of English Romanticism, his poems unite beauty, rebellion, and big questions about freedom, nature, and human hope. Though he died at just 29, works like "Ozymandias" and "Ode to the West Wind" helped secure his lasting place in literature.
