Percy Bysshe Shelley was bom in 1792 and died tragically in a storm off the Italian coast at the age of 30. From his early days at Eton until his death he retained a reputation for rebellion and rebellious acts and statements which shocked all England.
' I am a devoted enemy of religious, political and domestic tyranny ' was his credo, and stubbornly - often selfishly - he forced his friends and those in his family circle to follow the same course. The results were almost always tragic and frequently ludicrous. with the voices of BETTY HASKCOMB
