1839191840London: Edward Moxon 1839. Giving the productions of a sublime genius to the world First collected edition uniformly bound by Root & Sons. Mary Shelley's collected edition of her husband's poetical works established him finally and irreversibly amongst the great poets of the English language. The appearance of pirated editions of Shelley's works persuaded his father Sir Timothy that hope of obscurity had vanished and Mary was permitted to prepare a proper edition provided she kept biographical detail to a minimum. "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. 4 vols octavo 165 x 104 mm.
