| Abstract: | As Laura Quinney observes in the London Review of Books, 'Shelley's poetic development has always been something of a puzzle.' She makes the bold claim that his evident improvement was not due to any new ideas or changed aesthetic, but to the 'arduous development of prosodic skill.' But, as she also indicates, it is impossible to separate form from thought in work as fine as Shelley's later poems. I want to support the thesis that Shelley's poetry benefited greatly from his contact with Italy - in particular, with the poetry of Dante and, in special senses which I shall try to clarify, with the spiritual vision he met there. |
