Percy Bysshe Shelley |

| Influenced by the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century, English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley championed liberal thought and rebelled against the restrictions of English politics and religion. Shelley wrote enthusiastic, impulsive poems noted for their lyricism and romanticism. Critics consider Shelley one of the greatest poets of the English language. He died in a sailing accident in 1822 shortly before his 30th birthday. | ||||||
