About this book

In the early 19th century, a wave of intellectual fervor swept through England, challenging established norms and igniting revolutionary thoughts. "Shelley at Oxford" by Thomas Jefferson Hogg captures the essence of this transformative era through the lens of Percy Bysshe Shelley, a poet whose radical ideas on unalienable rights and individual freedom set him apart from his contemporaries. Hogg provides an intimate portrait of Shelley’s time at Oxford University, revealing the complexities of his character and the brilliance of his intellect. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this compelling narrative not only sheds light on Shelley’s eccentricities but also invites readers to explore the profound impact of his ideas on modern thought. Discover the man behind the myth in this essential historical document.
