An Unpublished Shelley Letter

Christopher Goulding1

1 Newcastle upon Tyne

An unpublished letter by Percy Bysshe Shelley has been found in a privately owned Victorian autograph collection held at a public record office in Newcastle. The letter, dated 27 August 1820, is from Pisa and is addressed to Charles Ollier, Shelley's London bookseller and publisher. It confirms several known aspects of Shelley's literary career, including Southey's denial of authorship of an anonymous attack on The Revolt of Islam. There are insights into Shelley's relationship with his publisher, especially concerning Ollier's reluctance to publish a second edition of The Cenci, and new light is shed upon the dating of Shelley's essay A Philosophical View of Reform.
