About Author

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the major English Romantic poets and is critically regarded among the finest lyric poets in the English language. He is most famous for such classic anthology verse works as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark, and The Masque of Anarchy, which are among the most popular and critically acclaimed poems in the English language. His major works, however, are long visionary poems which included Prometheus Unbound, Alastor, Adonaïs, The Revolt of Islam, and the unfinished The Triumph of Life. The Cenci (1819) and Prometheus Unbound (1820) were dramatic plays in five and four acts respectively. He also wrote the Gothic novels Zastrozzi (1810) and St. Irvyne (1811) and the short works The Assassins (1814) and The Coliseum (1817). Source and more information

Description

"The distinctive autumnal and melancholy tone of Trakl's work - especially admired by his patron Ludwig Wittgenstein - reflects the spiritual and social disintegration on the eve of the First World War. The generalized sense of anguish and exaltation of this period is the background to Trakl's transcendent, often hymnic, always lyrical voice and to his haunting imagery in which purgatory and paradise are never far apart. This bilingual edition, the most comprehensive to date, gives English-language readers the chance to get to know Trakl's work more fully than ever before."--Jacket.
