Abstract

This paper was delivered as a lecture. It references the occasion as one in a series. Shelley’s development is of ceaseless forward momentum, in the work and the life. However certain constants thread through perpetual change, and the combination of forward movement with a stillness evoked by repeating elements is also recognisable in the poetry. Themes echoing through the life have their corresponding qualities in recurrent poetic tropes. Repetition within movement is explored in several works, in relationship with Shelley’s interest in metempsychosis, and with the reincarnations which Shelley’s work has achieved through generations of readers.
