"One can only marvel at the amount of editorial work that has gone into this volume ... There is a world of difference between having to read a poet as part of your studies and picking one up for pleasure later, which is why this is such an important and definitive edition. It will suit both the scholar and the general reader ... While today the flame of progressive thought is flickering in the gales of intolerance and brute ignorance, we need Shelley's example, and his exemplary anger, all the more."
