Percy Bysshe Shelley is one of those British Romantic Poets who died young. In time their loss would be compared to various musical icons in the next century. Shelley ignored the warnings of Italian sailors not to go out that day.
Of course this is sad on several levels. Artistically, it is interesting to see what he would have written, as well as his wife, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley would have produced post-Frankenstein
Below a few links about his life, death and poetry.
