Publisher's Synopsis

Grabo, while not attempting to explain ""Prometheus Unbound"" entirely in terms of science, shows the extent to which Shelley used the science of his day, particularly the phenomenon of light and electricity, in his greatest poem. Far from belittling Shelley's creative imagination, this aspect seems to reveal greater reach and profundity.Originally published in 1930.A UNC Press Enduring Edition - UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
