The life of Percy Bysshe Shelley by Edward Dowden, LL. D. Professor of English Literature in the University of Dublin In Two Volumes Vol. I
by Dowden, Edward
First of 2 volumes in 8vo. pp. xv, [3], 554. Signatures: [A]8 B-Z8 2A-2M8 2N5. Cloth. Contains frontispiece portraits, plates, folded facsimile. Each volume signed and dated by Dowden (1843-1913) from Dublin, 16 March 1903. Shelf mark on front pastedown (“457”).
In the first volume Dowden has written a chagrined note admitting that the forgery of Shelley’s letter to Graham (vol. I, pp. 53–54) had deceived him, as it had Sir Percy Shelley and his wife; other forgeries also distorted the Life, but this was ‘the worst error.’ Tipped into the same volume is a letter to the Times Literary Supplement from Theodore Ehrsam concerning Dowden’s relations with the Shelley family during the writing of the biography. See also Bib# 1075348/Fr# 778 for more forged Shelley letters.
