Introduction of Shelley's Selected Poems

In poetics, the two poets have similarities and differences. Documents that can reveal Byron's poetic thoughts include English Poets and Scottish Critics, Inspiration from Horace and Letter to Murray. Shelley's literary thought is embodied in the poetic theory "Arguing for Poetry" and a large number of letters. Facts show that Byron and Shelley both emphasize the intervention and intervention of poetry in real life, and emphasize the moral significance and educational function of poetry, which is completely different from the escapism of Huxiang poets. Byron worshipped Pope, a classical English poet, mainly because he exerted moral influence in real life. This is reflected in Byron's Lv Zhong, in which he often gives readers direct instructions to pursue freedom and equality and overthrow reactionary rule. Shelley, on the other hand, has always advocated that language should be used to transform the world and educate the public, and that art should have an impact on the improvement of society. With the passage of time, his understanding of the ethical content of poetry is also deepening. He does not advocate direct preaching, but he is still loyal to the moral principle of creation, trying not to express his thoughts directly, but to achieve this goal through the beauty of poetic language, which Shelley tried to achieve through most of his works.
