£1,250.00
"Miscellaneous Poems" (1826):
The publication of Shelley's work by Benbow reflects the poet's radical and revolutionary themes, which were considered dangerous by the British establishment. Shelley's humanist ideals of equality, freedom, and respect for nature were seen as subversive
This was a significant publication as it brought together a collection of Shelley's poems for the first time. This was a "pirate edition," as it was published without the permission of Shelley's estate.
A very rare 1st edition.
