An exhibition celebrating the bicentenary of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s death on 8 July 2022, at Horsham Museum and Art Gallery.
The public perception of Shelley was not shaped by his life, but instead by how people have interpreted and understood his ideas and writing over the last 200 years. Undoubtedly Shelley wrote some great poetry, rich in context, colour and depth, but, as the exhibition will reveal, it is Shelley’s chameleon-like style that allows his work to resonate with each new generation.
