Percy Bysshe Shelley - Adonais. An Elegy on the Death of John Keats

Please help us improve with this one minute survey (opens in a new tab)

Part of the Shelley's Ghost Exhibition. This great elegy was prompted by the news of the death of John Keats in Rome, and by Shelley's belief that Keats's illness was caused by the hostile notices his work had been given in the Quarterly Review.

Shelley had the poem printed in Pisa under his own supervision, thereby ensuring its speedy appearance and its textual accuracy.
