Desire and restraint in Shelley

by Floyd Stovall

Without professing to be a complete biography of Shelley this book claims to present the manifestations in his character and career of the two impulses named in the title. He is first the enthusiast, in revolt against religion, parental authority, and the conventions of society; then the combatant, in arms against the human world of his environment; then the sufferer; losing the fight for everything fut fame.
