false <![CDATA[Being Shelley: The Poet's Search for Himself]]> 1247508 3 From Ann Wroe--author of highly and widely praised Pontius Pilate: The Biography of an Invented Man--comes another singularly iconoclastic achievement: a book about Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the greatest poets in the Western tradition, that is concerned at once with the making of poetry and the transforming power of it. Extraordinary for its elegance of style and complete immersion in Shelley’s work, Being Shelley aims to turn the poet’s life inside out: rather than tracing the events of a life in which poetry erupts occasionally, it tracks the inner journey of a spirit struggling to escape and create. In her own quest to understand Shelley, Ann Wroe takes up the questions that consume the poet himself: Who, or what, was he? What was his purpose? Where had he come from? And where was he going? By answering those questions, Shelley sought to free and empower not only himself, but the entire human race. His revolution would shatter the Earth’s illusions, shock men and women with new visions, find true love and liberty--and take everyone with him. Now, for the first time, this passionate and radical quest is put at the center of Shelley’s life. The result is a Shelley who has never been seen in biography before. 1236244 28 8 2007 Being Shelley: The Poet's Search for Himself total:12|5:8|4:2|3:2|2:0|1:0| 12 54 33 4 5 0 false false Thu Jun 19 22:32:57 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 10:09:32 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 22:32:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jun 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 12:21:51 -0700 2008 Tue May 27 12:31:23 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Nov 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jun 03 06:59:21 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 22 11:41:36 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 27 07:30:54 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 07:22:33 -0700 2008 Sigh, my life isn't such that I can curl up with this one for the time it deserves.]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 23 08:35:07 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 08:35:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 16 23:21:11 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 23:21:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 21:47:01 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 21:47:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 12:15:21 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 12:15:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 28 13:02:08 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 13:02:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 18:37:48 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 18:37:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 06:01:43 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 20 06:02:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 08:28:52 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 08:28:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 14 16:55:34 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 16:55:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Feb 20 06:27:47 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 06:27:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 13:40:29 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:40:29 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 12 15:09:55 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 15:09:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 08 19:08:01 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 08 19:08:01 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Aug 24 01:05:04 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 01:05:04 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jun 20 09:14:30 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 09:14:30 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jun 12 09:16:07 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 09:16:16 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1247508
