Excerpt from Shelley's Prose in the Bodleian Manuscripts: Edited With Corrections, Additions, Notes and Unpublished Fragments

Almost every one of these Essays and Fragments raises its own interesting questions of date, composi tion, manuscript authority, and biographical circum stances. For these, introductory notes have been prefixed. They can hardly claim to be always con clusive, but they may help to reach a more definite solution of the minor difficulties which still beset some of Shelley's prose. It is, no doubt, sufficient excuse for such discussions, that the slightest word spoken or written by that most spontaneous of poets is full of personal import, and that the smallest altera tion of phrase, the most hurried little note, the mere feverishness of the writing, the very gaps of a first draft, betray something of the thrilling sensibility and the swiftness of response of the unearthly singer.
