	In 1813 Shelley published his first romantic poem ''Queen Mab'' where he presents in dramatic images the historical course of human suffering. He exposes the depressing status in past and present times where people suffer from the reign of kings and the atrocity of the church and where corruption, ~~greediness~~ for power and money, commercialisation and above all hypocrisy destroys the individual and society.[4]		In 1813 Shelley published his first romantic poem ''Queen Mab'' where he presents in dramatic images the historical course of human suffering.

	Shelley's interest of writing shifted from his radically political ideas of reforms to more literary aspects.[2] His work ''A Defence of Poetry'' (written in 1821, published in 1840) is a programmatic presentation of the central ideas of Romanticism. Poetry and art were seen as central means to reconcile human suffering and alienation.[2] Another example of romantic poetry is the poem ''Adonaïs'' written in the tradition of the English pastoral elegy ~~and written~~ as reaction on the death of John Keats. In 1822 Percy was on a sailing trip when his small schooner sank and he drowned. His body was washed ashore at Viareggio, where, in the presence of Shelley's friends [[Lord Byron]] and [[Leigh Hunt]], he was burned on the beach. Shelley was later buried in Rome on a cemetery where also John Keats is buried.[3] Mary Shelley returned to England and published in 1824 ''Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley'' and in 1839 ''The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley''.

[2] After college his father also disinherited Shelley after his [[Elopement\|elopement]] and marriage with 16-year old Harriet Westbrook, the daughter of a London tavern owner. He travelled to Wales and Ireland where he also tried to get politically involved. He wrote the political scripts ''Address to the Irish People'' and ''Proposals for an Association'' in 1812 fighting for more rights of the Irish people.[1] In 1813 Shelley published his first poem "Queen Mab", in which he criticised the social mechanisms of repression [what does this mean concretely? a quote might be revealing].[1] Although still married to Harriet he fell in love with Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, the daughter of his friend [[William Godwin]] and his wife, the early feminist and writer [[Mary Wollstonecraft]]. In 1816 Harriet drowned herself in the Serpentine. Percy Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin married and their daughter Clara was born. Later [[Mary Shelley]] (1797-1851) became famous due to her novel ''Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus'' (1818). Due to health problems and the fear that his two children of his first marriage could be taken away from him, Percy Shelley and his family moved to Italy in 1818, where two of his children died. In 1819 he wrote the tragedy ''The Cenci'', the only work dealing with real persons. [1]

	Shelley's interest of writing shifted from his radically political ideas of reforms to more literary aspects.[2] His work ''A Defence of Poetry'' (written in 1821, published in 1840) is a programmatic presentation of the central ideas of Romanticism. Poetry and art were seen as central means to reconcile human suffering and alienation.[2] Another example of romantic poetry is the poem ''Adonaïs'' written in the tradition of the English pastoral elegy and written as reaction on the death of John Keats. In 1822 Percy was on a sailing trip when his small schooner sank and he drowned. His body was washed ashore at Viareggio, where, in the presence of Shelley's friends [[Lord Byron]] and [[Leigh Hunt]], he was burned on the beach. Shelley was later buried in Rome on a cemetery where also John Keats is buried.[3] Mary Shelley returned to England and published in 1824 ''Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley'' and in 1839 ''The Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley''.
