- Double-weighted statement
- This 105,000-word output is written as literary nonfiction and comprehensively informed by sustained original research in primary sources. It makes new archival discoveries and substantive research into auxiliary facts, such as contemporary weather reports, fleshes out familiar events more fully than hitherto. The first biography of Shelley this century, it develops a genre of psychological biography, close reading textual evidence in much greater detail than previous biographies to establish reasonable hypotheses about events and motivations; ‘showing its workings’ for these. Because the book combines exact scholarship with literary originality, both research and writing were substantial, multifaceted and complex.
