It was during the Italian period of his life that his genius matured, and it was the atmosphere and surroundings of that country which inspired him to produce such masterpieces as "Prometheus Unbound," "Ode to the West Wind," and "The Cenci." We find the whole spirit of Italian atmosphere in Shelley's poetry. The beauty and charm of Italy, her buildings, her country, and her associations, pervade some of his most exquisite verse. And it is not only in his verse that Shelley has celebrated Italy, but also in his descriptions which have been handed down to us in the shape of letters. It has been the editor's aim in this volume to present the poems in their original environment, and to conduct the reader into that very atmosphere where they were created. "The book contains more than sixty beautifully printed full-page views of scenery and art remains from Leghorn to Pompeii, and from Rome to Ravenna. To the traveller who plans visiting Italy the book will prove very helpful in furnishing in advance an interest of a literary character in objects and places that, otherwise, might be only historical. To those who have already been over the ground it will no doubt prove even more interesting and valuable."— Boston Evening Transcript.
