Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) was the most vitally instinct with the pure essence of romantic spirit. He gave himself up most unreservedly to the impulses and inspiration of the romantic spirit. He had imbibed the explosive forces of the French Revolution (in 1789) and championed the cause of revolution and freedom in every sphere of human life. There is however, a melancholic tone in his poetry which spring from his frustration and unfulfilled desires. He pined for an ideal world of beauty, love and freedom but he yearend in vain. His poetry is, however, imbued with optimism. He sang of millennium when evils of life would disappear like passage of clouds. Shelley's best qualities are revealed in his Prometheus Unbound, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark. He is a lyrical genus par excellence. His poetry is marked by melody and imagery.
