Ross Wilson has edited Percy Shelley in Context, which is published by Cambridge University Press on 24th April.  With 40 contributors from seven countries, this volume draws together leading experts and emerging voices on the life and work of Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822).  The volume shows Shelley to have been 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.
