His tempestuous life and friendship with Byron, and his tragically early death, at times threatened to overwhelm his legacy as a poet, but today his standing as one of the foremost English authors is assured. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This freshly edited collection--the fullest one-volume selection in English--includes all but one of the longer poems, from \u003cem\u003eQueen Mab\u003c\/em\u003e onwards, in their entirety. Only \u003cem\u003eLaon and Cythna\u003c\/em\u003e is excerpted, in a generous selection.
