Description

An epistemologically oriented analysis of Shelleys verse explores the poets visionary enterprise and the emergence of the Shelleyan self. Shelley, once a candidate to become a physician, gave scientifically sound descriptions of the workings of the eyes and nervous system. The author, after surveying the literature, gives descriptions of Shelleys psychological and physiological features recorded by the poet himself. The operations of the poets eyesight are seen to be linked to his imagery and use of language.
