This volume constitutes the first collected edition of Keats and only the second collected works of Coleridge & Shelley although only volume 1 issued in 5 parts of the 1826 edition of Shelley's works was issued and the edition was not completed and contains works published here for the first time from all three poets. Each poets work is preceded by a short life of the author. The memoir of Keats is by Leigh Hunt. Although Keats' literary executor Charles Armitage Brown disliked Hunt's portrayal of his friend his own account of Keats life was not ready in time for this edition and would not see publication for another 108 years in 1937. He did however send some unpublished poems in his possession for inclusion in the volume. The memoir of Shelley was written by Mary Shelley who also helped the publication of this edition by allowing the publisher access to his papers. Although this volume was published by the Galignanis in Paris avoiding the British copyright and meaning no royalties would be due they did have the co-operation of family members and literary friends of all three poets when assembling this impressive volume.;. 1268602.
