Dare I say that Percy is a better writer than Mary? I don't like comparing a husband and wife, but I found Percy's writing better than Mary's, but I've only read one book of Mary's. I feel like Percy's writing had bit more of a meaning than Mary's

Percy writing is beautiful at times and other times angry depending what he is taking about. He could write a longer poem about the landscape and I'd still fall in love. He's angry at times for a good reason. He's a known atheist and didn't like religion. He saw the flaws as you will read in "Queen Mab" or other works in this book. If you don't like people constantly complaining about religion, I'd avoid Shelley, but I wouldn't avoid him because he's a damn good writer.

I still find it kind of odd Ozymandias is his most recognizable poem. Made odd isn't the word, but it's not his best poem. It's quick, has good line, but it's hard to figure out what he meant. I thought most of his poems where like these, but I was wrong. Most of his other poems are obvious what he is talking about. Queen Mab is still my favorite, but I liked a lot of others.

This also includes dramas and essays as well. Shelley was a philosopher and liked talking about philosophy and literature. ( )
