Reviews for Adonais
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
5/5

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If ever you feel the need of proof that we are a barbarian race, look no further than my purchase of this little book. Produced in 1902, this lovely edition of Percy Bysshe Shelley's Adonais, bearing a romantic billet-doux of ten years later from a gentleman to his paramour, was purchased for £2 including p&p. This is a crime.Now, to the contents of this tome; it is a wonderful poem of PBS's mature period. It is available in some selections of Shelley's works but, there is something special in owning a vintage, albeit not a contemporary, edition. I am afraid that I rejoice in the lack of wisdom that sees a mobile phone with some useless gizmo, totally un-necessary for a happy life, being valued at many times that of such a wonderful work.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Shelley's elegy on the death of Keats. A remarkable poem, perhaps one of the greatest elegies ever written in English. "Mour not for Adonaïs thou young dawn."
