520 _a"The Real Shelley: New Views of the Poet's Life, Vol. 1" by John Cordy Jeaffreson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to uncover a more accurate portrayal of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, countering the romanticized images created by biographers and enthusiasts who have shaped his legacy. The narrative delves into the influences and experiences that formed Shelley, examining his character, family background, and the misconceptions that have arisen about his life and relationships. The opening of the book focuses on how previous biographers have created a romantic version of Shelley that often omits the harsher truths of his life. Jeaffreson discusses the various forces that contribute to this fantastical image, such as his family's attempts to rewrite his history, the sentiments of Shelleyan enthusiasts, and even socialist interpretations of his views. He asserts that the real Shelley is more complex, marked by "phenomenal untruthfulness," domestic challenges, and a contentious relationship with authority figures. Through critiques of earlier biographies and analyses of Shelley's childhood and formative years, Jeaffreson establishes a foundation for a more nuanced exploration of Shelley's true nature and the societal influences that shaped him.
