{"product_id":"9781590170373","title":"Shelley: The Pursuit","description":"By: Richard Holmes     \u003chr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelley: The Pursuit\u003c\/i\u003e is the book with which Richard Holmes—the finest literary biographer of our day—made his name. Dispensing with the long-established Victorian picture of Shelley as a blandly ethereal character, Holmes projects a startling image of \"a darker and more earthly, crueler and more capable figure.\" Expelled from college, disowned by his aristocratic father, driven from England, Shelley led a life marked from its beginning to its early end by a violent rejection of society; he embraced rebellion and disgrace without thought of the cost to himself or to others. Here we have the real Shelley—radical agitator, atheist, apostle of free love, but above all a brilliant and uncompromising poetic innovator, whose life and work have proved an essential inspiration to poets as varied as W.B. Yeats and Allen Ginsberg.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46768085729507,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781590170373","price":288.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781590170373.jpg?v=1751562647","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/9781590170373","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
