This volume of New Italian Sketches has been made up from two books published in England and America under the titles of Sketches and Studies in Italy and Italian Byways. It forms in some respects a companion volume to my Sketches in Italy already published in the Tauchnitz Collection of British Authors. But it is quite independent of that other book, and is in no sense a continuation of it. In making the selection, I have however followed the same principles of choice. That is to say, I have included only those studies of places, rather than of literature or history, which may suit the needs of travellers in Italy. JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS. DAVOS PLATZ, Dec. 1883. TO CHRISTIAN BUOL AND CHRISTIAN PALMY MY FRIENDS AND FELLOW-TRAVELLERS

John Addington Symonds (1840-93), well known as an author, poet and critic, wrote this biography of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) in an attempt to portray the complete man. Shelley, Symonds writes, was more than a controversial atheist. He was full of earnest conviction, enthusiasm, and intellectual vigour, but also extravagance, crudity and presumption. Published in 1878 in the first series of English Men of Letters, this book thus provides an account of a literary life famously cut short, describing a writer whose intellectual and poetic legacy was perhaps not fully appreciated in the Victorian period, when the response to his poems was frequently coloured by antipathy to his revolutionary ideas and his unconventional private life, as well as to his loudly proclaimed atheism.
