Shelley has long been viewed as a dreamer isolated from reality, a “beautiful and ineffectual angel,†in Arnold’s words. In contrast, Sperry’s book emphasizes the life forces originating in the poet’s childhood that impelled and shaped his career, and reasserts Shelley’s relevance to the social and cultural dilemmas of contemporary life.
