Shelley's Visions of Death
This book provides the first modern, in-depth analysis of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s engagement with the phenomenon of death. It argues that, for Shelley, this most nebulous of realities represents, first and foremost, possibility: Shelley’s poetic writings on death are both numerous and varied, presenting his reader, with differing degrees of confidence over the course of his brief but brilliant career, with several key visions of what death might be or actually is. Shelley’s Visions of Death stresses the seldom-appreciated fact that death was one of Shelley’s most enduring preoccupations, and also demonstrates the poet’s power to imagine, with startling variety, that which lies beyond the boundaries of experience.

Bridge of Honour
The year is 1282. Welsh pride smoulders under the rule of England. Two young men, one with a dream of vengeance, the other with a thirst for glory are about to meet as the fires of revolt are unleashed in the final struggle for Welsh independence.When English soldiers murder his father, Owain swears an oath of vengeance. An unexpected uprising gives him the chance to ride to war against the hated invaders of Wales. But his quest will lead him further than he could ever have imagined. Far away in England, Alan, the son of an English lord, is eager to answer King Edward's call for troops to march against the Welsh rebels. He leads his men off into the misty hills of Wales and into a conflict that is far different from anything he ever dreamed of. In the midst of the Welsh war, both young men are determined to do their duty and bring honour to their families. But will finding true honour be different from what they expect? Will Owain and Alan be able to bridge their differences amidst the hatred of war, or will the last hope of an enduring future for Wales be gone?
The Laudians and the Elizabethan Church
Notions of religious conformity in England were redefined during the mid-seventeenth century; for many it was as though the previous century's reformation was being reversed. Lane considers how a select group of churchmen – the Laudians – reshaped the meaning of church conformity during a period of religious and political turmoil.
Shelley: Selected Poems
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) was one of the major Romantic poets and wrote what is critically recognised as some of the finest lyric poetry in the English Language. In this volume, the editors have selected the most popular, significant and frequently taught poems from the six-volume Longman Annotated edition of Shelley’s poems. Each poem is fully annotated, explained and contextualised, along with a comprehensive list of abbreviations, an inclusive bibliography of material relating to the text and interpretation of Shelley’s poetry, plus an extensive chronology of Shelley’s life and works. Headnotes and footnotes furnish the personal, literary, historical and scientific information necessary for an informed reading of Shelley’s richly varied and densely allusive verse, making this an ideal anthology for students, classroom use, and anyone approaching Shelley’s poetry for the first time; however the level and extent of commentary and annotation will also be of great value for researchers and critics.
