Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
Leigh Hunts, and was sailing from Leghorn when his little vessel was caught in a sudden squall and capsized. He was a poet of the sea, singing of its ever-varying moods, and the sea claimed him. It has been told how his body was washed ashore near Viareggio, and that his ashes lie at Rome, close to the grave of Keats, a copy of whose poems was found on his body.
The year 1922 has seen the passing of another great Sussex poet, the Rev. F. W. Orde Ward, and it is most fitting that his deeply comprehensive sketch of Shelley should now be published, and serve as a double In Memoriam. It should be as widely known as Francis Thompson's splendid essay.
