'A fascinating and accomplished study, throwing new light on Shelley and the Vitality debate of which he was part. Deeply scholarly, and making persuasive use of manuscript sources, it proves links and influences that were not fully appreciated hitherto - and it does so in a consistently readable narrative, whose style is engaging, to-the-point and clear.' - Professor Tim Fulford, Department of English and Media Studies, Nottingham Trent University, UK '[A]n interesting and suggestive study which should continue to galvanize our sense of the range, relevance, and maturity of Shelley's work.' - Cian Duffy, Modern Language Review 'Ruston's literary analyses are engaging and interesting and offer new insights into Shelley's politics, his writing, and the inextricable relationship between the two.' - Sharrona Pearl, Isis 'Sharon Ruston's book is excellent...Ruston's summary of the Lawrence/Abernethy rift is detailed, scholarly and impressively clear: this section of the book can stand alone as a good introduction to that chapter in the history of medical science and culture.' - Clark Lawlor, The Keats-Shelley Review
