Signs of Change
This essay argues that the poetry of Percy Shelley may have contributed to Charles Darwin's ability to conceptualize forces of change in the natural world. The work of Shelley occupies a key position in the development of pre‐Darwinian thought about change and transformation. His early interest in Lockean empiricism and his knowledge of the natural sciences have long been recognized by scholars working on romanticism and science. Less explored ar…
Shelley, Mythology, and the Classical Tradition
This chapter discusses Shelley's engagement with the classical tradition, showing that Shelley viewed classical culture, especially the Greek poets' ways of handling myth, as creatively liberating and a force for good.

In this respect, Shelley participated in a contemp…

Coleridge and Transcendentalism
Transcendentalism delivered no tidy body of doctrine, no distinctive new aesthetic, and no unified, coherent programme for political action. The men and women who considered themselves part of the transcendentalist movement often disagreed profoundly about such questions as the future of religion, the attitude Americans should take towards British culture, and the respective claims of individualism and collectivism. Transcendentalism was also con…
