About this event
Perhaps humour does not readily spring to mind when one thinks of Percy Bysshe Shelley and his oeuvre. In this talk, Bysshe Inigo Coffey will introduce us to the poet’s lighter side and the range of his humour as it makes its varied, sometimes bawdy, appearances in poems, plays, and manuscripts. Coffey will remind us of a Shelley who could laugh.
