Excerpt from A Study of Shelley: With Special Reference to His Nature Poetry Professor Dowden, in his "Life of Shelley," refers to Shelley's early indifference for natural beauty. In the midst of the mountains of Cwm Elan, in 1811, Shelley writes to his friend Hogg, "'This is most divine scenery, but all very dull, stale, flat, and unprofitable; indeed, the place is a very great bore.' The poet in Shelley at this time was trammelled and taken in the toils by the psychologist and metaphysician." ("Life of Shelley," I. 165.) "In the summer of 1811 his delight in mountain and vale and stream was tracked and hunted down and done to death by his passion for psychological analysis. 'This country of Wales' (writing to Miss Hitchener) 'is exceedingly grand; rocks piled on each other to tremendous heights, rivers formed into cataracts by their projections, and valleys clothed with woods, present an appearance of enchantment. But why do they enchant? Why is it more affecting than a plain? It cannot be innate; is it acquired? Thus does knowledge lose all the pleasure which involuntarily arises by attempting to arrest the fleeting phantom as it passes. Vain attempt; like the chemists ether, it evaporates under our observation; it flies from all but the slaves of passion and sickly sensibility who will not analyze a feeling.' And again, 'Nature is here marked with the most impressive characters of loveliness and grandeur. Once I was tremulously alive to tones and scenes; the habit of analyzing feelings, I fear, does not agree with this. It is spontaneous, and when it becomes subject to consideration, ceases to exist.'" ("Life of Shelley," I. 167.) "I am more astonished at the grandeur of the scenery' (letter to Hogg) 'than I expected. I do not now much regard it. I have other things to think of.'" ("Life of Shelley," I. 168.)

Excerpt from Shelley's Later Poetry: A Study of His Prophetic Imagination Using Prometheus Unbound as its organizing center, this book describes the materials and traces the unfinished argument Of Shelley's poetry in his Italian period. But more is attempted than Simply an exposition Of meaning. The form of Shelley's argument and the nature of his figures of speech imply a theory of poetry and reveal the way his imagination worked. The book as a whole demonstrates the importance Of that theory and tries to justify the activity of a prophetic imagination.

Excerpt from A Study of Shelley's Drama: The Cenci Vlldered by Professor W. P. Trent, to whom the inception of the work was largely due, and by Professor Brander Matthews and Professor Thorndike, whose suggestions upon the dramatic aspects of the subject have been invaluable; also, my study of Shelley's style owes much to the judicious advice of Dr. G. P. Krapp; and in many minor points throughout the dissertation I have profited from the friendly counsel of Dr. W. W. Lawrence. I wish also to express my thanks to Professor Richard Holbrook, of Bryn Mawr College, who generously placed in my hands his notes upon various Italian documents connected with the history of the Cenci family.

Excerpt from Mrs. Shelley I have to thank all the previous students of Shelley as poet and man - not last nor least among whom is my husband - for their loving and truthful research on all the subjects surrounding the life of Mrs. Shelley. Every aspect has been presented, and of known material it only remained to compare, sift, and use with judgment. Concerning facts subsequent to Shelley's death, many valuable papers have been placed at my service, and I have made no new statement which there are not existing documents to vouch for.

Matthew Henry defines practical meekness and shows how valuable it is. He explains Bible verses related to meekness and how Biblical characters exhibited meekness. Meekness "is one of the members of the new man, which we must put on. Put it on as armor, to keep provocations from the heart, and so to defend the vitals." Also "If there be any vindication or avenging necessary, (which infinite Wisdom is the best judge of) he can do it better than we can; therefore "give place unto wrath," that is, to the judgment of God, which is according to truth and equity; make room for him to take the seat, and do not you step in before him." The text is the American Tract Society version.
Excerpt from Shelley: A Poem This calamity was not the only penalty of his heterodoxy. Between him and his cousin, Harriet Grove, youthful love had sprung up, and an understanding existed that marriage was to follow, but the young lady, alarmed by the religious vagary of her lover, broke the engagement. Shelley now took up his residence in London, and pursued his studies with Hogg, from whom his father made every effort to separate him. Shelley's parents were now much alienated from him, and he was left alone in the great Metro polis, face to face with a frowning world.

Excerpt from Shelley and the Unromantics My view of Shelley's character is entirely founded upon his own works, particularly his letters, and upon the profound impression his unusual personality made on contemporaries very unlike himself. A posterity which has far more in common with him, might find, I believe, in his poems a deeper relevance to modern problems, and a truer source of encouragement and help than is usually supposed.
