Summary "The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley — Volume 1" by Shelley is a collection of the poet's complete and verified poems, likely compiled in the early 20th century. This comprehensive volume includes all his known poetic works, including previously unpublished materials, and is edited with careful textual notes to maintain accuracy in the presentation of his original verses. The opening of the volume outlines the editorial principles behind this edition, emphasizing the importance of the original text as a primary source for comparison against later adaptations. The editor, Thomas Hutchinson, recounts the arduous process of collating early editions and highlights Shelley's unique stylistic traits, including his unconventional punctuation and spelling choices. He also acknowledges the contributions of previous editors and scholars in the ongoing effort to preserve and present Shelley's poetic legacy, all while setting the stage for the upcoming collection of Shelley's imaginative and emotionally charged poetry.
