Percy Bysshe Shelley

    4. srpen 1792 – 8. červenec 1822

    Percy Bysshe Shelley byl jedním z hlavních anglických romantických básníků, uznávaný jako jeden z nejlepších lyrických básníků anglického jazyka. Jeho dílo, často inspirované radikálním idealismem a skepsi, zahrnuje jak slavné kratší básně, tak rozsáhlé vizionářské poemy. Shelleyho nekonvenční život a nekompromisní přesvědčení ho za jeho života činily kontroverzní postavou, ale stal se idolem následujících generací básníků a myslitelů. Jeho básnický jazyk a tematická hloubka dodnes rezonují a inspirují čtenáře svou silou a krásou.

    • Ústředním tématem básně je květinová zahrada, která je pod ochranou nejmenované "krásné paní". S dojemnou péčí a láskou pečuje tato líbezná žena o ráj sněženek, sasanek, hyacintů, "pyšných tulipánů" a dalších okrasných bylin, mezi nimiž má místo i citlivka stydlivá, popínavá rostlina s velmi choulostivými listy, které se skloní i při nepatrném kontaktu.

    • Odpoutaný Prométheus je vrcholným dílem Percy Bysshe Shelleyho z roku 1820. Jedná se o filozofické drama, jehož hlavním tématem je osvobození lidské myšlenky. Je to obměna antické báje o Prométheovi, který se vzepřel bohům Titánům a přinesl lidem oheň. V antické báji se pak Prométheus nakonec podvolí Diově vůli, kdežto u Shelleyho vzdoruje až do té doby, dokud není tyran svržen z trůnu. Tento tvrdý vzdor jedince proti silnější vůli se nazývá titanismus. Shelley v tomto díle vyslovil své přestavy o svobodném životě člověka a o konečném vítězství dobra nad zlem.

      This pastoral elegy, composed by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1821, mourns the death of poet John Keats. Spanning 495 lines across 55 stanzas, it reflects Shelley's deep admiration for Keats and is influenced by classical elegies, particularly Virgil's tenth Eclogue. Written shortly after learning of Keats' passing, the poem aligns with the English tradition exemplified by Milton's "Lycidas," showcasing Shelley's lyrical prowess and emotional depth as he grapples with loss and celebrates Keats' artistic legacy.

      "The pale purple even melts around thy flight;Like a star of heaven in the broad daylight,Though art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight—" 'To a Skylark' is a classic poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, first published in 1820 within his work 'Prometheus Unbound'. The verses begin by describing a skylark above him, praising his traits via a number of similes. It is one of his most famous poems, and over the years it has influenced and inspired numerous works by authors, poets and songwriters, further securing its legacy in the history of literature. Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets, and is widely considered to be among the finest lyric poets of the English language. Among his most cherished works are pieces such as 'Ozymandias' (1817), 'Ode to the West Wind' (1820), 'To a Skylark' (1820), and 'The Masque of Anarchy' (1819). Shelley's unconventional life and uncompromising idealism, combined with his strong skeptical voice, made him a authoritative and much denigrated figure during his life. Famous for his association with his contemporaries John Keats & Lord Byron, he was also married to novelist Mary Shelley.

      One of the most ambitious dramatic poems ever written, Percy Bysshe Shelley's Prometheus Unbound tells the story of the Titan Prometheus who gave mankind the secret of fire in open defiance to the decrees of Zeus, and who, as punishment for this generosity, was chained to the Caucasus Mountains and exposed to horrible tortures. Inspired by the Prometheus Bound of Aeschylus, Shelley's play serves as a sort of sequel, matching its Greek predecessor in stature and pure poetic power. It depicts its philanthropist hero's ultimate triumph over the superstition and bigotry of the gods. As Shelley himself stated in his Defence of Poetry, Prometheus Unbound awakens and enlarges the mind.

      Der Roman entfaltet sich um die düstere Figur Zastrozzi, die als Verkörperung von Shelleys atheistischer Weltanschauung dient. Durch die Erzählung wird ein tiefes psychologisches und moralisches Dilemma thematisiert, das die Grenzen von Gut und Böse hinterfragt. Die gotische Atmosphäre wird durch düstere Settings und komplexe Charaktere verstärkt, was das Werk zu einer frühen und bedeutenden Darstellung des Genres macht. Veröffentlicht anonym, spiegelt der Roman die literarischen Strömungen des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts wider und zeigt Shelleys innovative Herangehensweise an Horror und Romantik.
