{"product_id":"9781590175705","title":"Shelley: The Pursuit","description":"\u003ci\u003eShelley: The Pursuit\u003c\/i\u003e is the book with which Richard Holmes—the  finest literary biographer of our day—made his name. Dispensing with the  long-established Victorian picture of Shelley as a blandly ethereal  character, Holmes projects a startling image of “a darker and more  earthly, crueler and more capable figure.” Expelled from college,  disowned by his aristocratic father, driven from England, Shelley led a  life marked from its beginning to its early end by a violent rejection  of society; he embraced rebellion and disgrace without thought of the  cost to himself or to others. Here we have the real Shelley—radical  agitator, atheist, apostle of free love, but above all a brilliant and  uncompromising poetic innovator, whose life and work have proved an  essential inspiration to poets as varied as W.B. Yeats and Allen Ginsberg.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138099265776,"sku":"9781590175705","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590175705_p0.jpg?v=1763808738","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590175705","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
