Synopsis

""Notes On Sculptures In Rome And Florence"" is a collection of essays written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the most influential poets of the Romantic era. The book contains his observations and reflections on the sculptures he encountered during his travels to Rome and Florence. In addition to his thoughts on the art, Shelley also includes a Lucianic fragment, a humorous work by the ancient Greek writer Lucian, and a critique of Thomas Love Peacock's poem ""Rhododaphne"". This book provides readers with a unique insight into Shelley's interests and intellectual pursuits beyond his poetry. Published in 1879, long after the author's death, ""Notes On Sculptures In Rome And Florence"" is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important literary figures of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
