A splendid set particularly scarce in the publisher's original cloth. The first complete edition of Percy Shelley's poetical works complied and edited by his wife Mary Shelley. Previously Shelley's poetry had largely been brought before the public in a multiplicity of either private and small-run editions many of which had become increasingly scarce or pirated editions. Percy's father Sir Timothy Shelley feared that a new collected edition would be likely to draw fresh attention to the radical writings of his son. Recognising however that obscurity was unlikely in any case he relented and dropped his objections to Mary producing an official edition. After having attempted to do so since her husband's death in 1822 Mary thus brought Percy's work into the mainstream. Her notes which added significantly to the fuller comprehension of Percy's poetic writings have since become inseparable from the texts themselves and her endeavours ultimately served to secure his position as one of the foremost poets of the English language.

Engraved portrait frontispiece in first volume. An excellent set in superb bindings. First collected edition of Shelley's complete poems compiled by his wife Mary. Mary Shelley's collected edition of her husband's poetical works established him finally and irreversibly amongst the great poets of the English language. Pirate editions of Shelley's works had persuaded his father Sir Timothy that all hope of obscurity had passed and Mary was allowed to prepare a proper edition provided she included only a minimal amount of biographical information. "Mary Shelley brought Shelley into the mainstream of the national culture. He was no longer the author of a notorious banned poem Queen Mab only obtainable from shops specializing in blasphemy sedition and advice on birth control. He was the prophet of Prometheus Unbound one of the most ambitious attempts ever made to uplift life by literature and of other works such as the "Ode to the West Wind". The notes that Mary added are masterpieces of editing adding so immeasurably to the reader's understanding that nobody would now consider printing Shelley's poems without them" St Clair p. 492.
