  • Percy Shelley in Context

    Open AccessNora Crook, Daisy Hay et al.BOOKPercy Shelley in Context2025

    Percy Shelley was a writer in the broadest sense – poet, pamphleteer, philosopher, translator, and correspondent – and one of the most eccentric, fascinating figures of his age. Yet he is emphatically of our age too, continuing to influence contemporary writers, to be referenced in popular culture, and to inspire social and political movements. Bringing together a wide range of contributors from different critical perspectives, this vivid and acc…

  • Peter Wilkins

    Nora CrookCHAPTERReviewing Romanticism1992

    Peter Wilkins, by the obscure author Robert Paltock,1 was destined to become one of the most rediscovered of all novels. Published anonymously in 1750, it was pronounced dull and derivative, ‘the illegitimate offspring of no very natural conjunction betwixt Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe’.2 Yet it must have attracted a readership, for it was translated into German and French, and was in the 1780s included in the encyclopaedic collections,…
