The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (ed. Hutchinson, 1914)/Early Poems

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

EARLY POEMS [1814, 1815]

[The poems which follow appeared, with a few exceptions, either in the volumes published from time to time by Shelley himself, or in the Posthumous Poems of 1824, or in the Poetical Works of 1839, of which a second and enlarged edition was published by Mrs. Shelley in the same year. A few made their first appearance in some fugitive publication—such as Leigh Hunt's Literary Pocket-Book—and were subsequently incorporated in the collective editions. In every case the editio princeps and (where this is possible) the exact date of composition are indicated below the title.]
