Percy Bysshe Shelley was an influential English Romantic poet considered one of the greatest poets of his time. He lived a radically nonconforming life that caused some to view him as dangerous. He was educated at Eton but expelled from Oxford for publishing atheist pamphlets. He married young and moved to the Lake District to write, publishing his first major work Queen Mab in 1813. He associated with other thinkers like William Godwin and later married Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin after separating from his first wife. Shelley drowned in 1822 at age 30 while sailing in Italy, where he had been living and producing many of his major works.
