Adonais

Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Michael Rossetti

eBook - 2012

Adonais represents the height of artistic achievement for nineteenth-century Romantic poetry. Percy Bysshe Shelley's book-length elegy in the pastoral style mourns the loss of fellow poet John Keats in 495 remarkably accomplished lines. Shelley himself regarded Adonais as the best of his work, and the poem is a must-read for fans of the Romantic movement, or for anyone who has struggled with loss.
