ABSTRACT
Shelley, Prometheus Unbound (1820); review by William Sidney Walker, Quarterly Review, XXVI (Oct. 1821), 168–180. [Issue appeared December 1821.] This article was the fourth and last contribution by Walker (1795–1846) to the Quarterly during Gifford’s regime. Lacking both the intelligence and the rhetorical forcefulness of Croker and J. T. Coleridge, Walker holds Shelley’s most imaginative passages up for ridicule and thereby simply discredits himself.
