lxvi, 31pp, [2]. With half-title. Partially unopened in original blue printed paper boards. Rubbed and marked, with loss to head of spine and bumping to foot. Endpapers heavily browned (as often). One of 500 copies printed of the Shelley Society's edition of Epipsychidion, the poet's address to Countess Teresa Viviani, who Shelley met and corresponded with during her 'imprisonment' in a convent. The poem serves as an advocation of free love and a treatise on Shelley's distaste for conventional marriage and familial structures, embodied through his address to the Countess, or 'Emilia', an idealised victim of society's tyranny. The Shelley Society reprint includes notes from Swinburne and Irish critic and churchman Stopford Brooke (1832-1916), a President of the Shelley Society himself. Size: 8vo.
