Many people fell deeply in love with the poet Shelley after reading "Ode to the West Wind" and "To the Skylark". It is also because of these poems that Shelley has a very high status in romantic literature. So which country is Shelley from? What is the family background of his birth? Shelley is an authentic British. He was even born into a British aristocratic family - Field Manor in Sussex. Although he traveled to Dublin, Ireland, Switzerland and France, his identity is very clear, that is, he is a British writer and poet. Shelley was born in a British family in 1792. He had been at odds with his parents since he was a child and was sent to a priest to learn Latin. Later, he studied at Saon School and Eton Noble School. In these two places, although he achieved outstanding results, he was bullied by others. Perhaps this experience made him maintain a negative attitude towards gods. After he entered Oxford University, he was expelled within a year for publishing atheistic articles.
Shelley was not frustrated by being expelled. He still wrote many articles and preached the idea of ??liberating Catholics everywhere. In 1819, Shelley believed that the relationship between the people and the rulers had reached a point of irreconcilability, and he wanted to express his idea of ??standing with the people through a political division. In his poem "The Witch of Atlas" published in 1829, Shelley's utopian socialist ideas were fully reflected. After the Spanish people's successful uprising, Shelley wrote "Ode to Liberty" for them to support the independence movements of various countries. In 1822, he died while riding a boat and was buried in a Protestant cemetery in Rome. Among the people who came to pay homage were famous British writers such as Byron and Henry. From the above introduction, we can see that the answer to the question of which country Shelly is from is very clear.
?The British romantic poet Shelley was the first socialist poet. He wrote many works in his life, and his poems, novels and essays were loved by people all over the world. So what is the style of Shelley's poems that are so popular? Shelley is a romantic poet, so his works are naturally full of romance. In Shelley's many poems, there are many beautiful words and romantic atmosphere descriptions. Shelley loved nature very much, so in his works, many natural scenes were used as a medium to express his emotions, such as mountains, rivers, birds, etc. The most famous and representative one is "Ode to the West Wind". In this poem, Shelley expresses his desire for freedom by praising the west wind. In addition to using things in nature as a medium, Shelley also liked to compare himself to things in nature. He once said, "The world is a nightingale."
In addition to poetry collections related to nature, the style of Shelley's poetry is mostly lyrical. Because Shelley is a modern socialist poet, in addition to romanticism, there is also revolutionary presence in his works. In "Song to the British", he lyrically pointed out that the British ruling class was a parasite attached to the people, and called on people to resist the rule of the dark bourgeoisie. It is precisely because of the special poetic style that combines romanticism and revolution that more and more people like Shelley's poetry, and Shelley's influence is also growing. Shelley was ostracized by the British Communist Party and was even expelled from the UK. Through the introduction of the style of Shelley's poetry, we can see what ideals Shelley pursued in his life.
