Each volume combines the most authoritative text available with the comprehensive pedagogical apparatus necessary to appreciate the work fully. About the series: No other series of classic texts equals the caliber of the Norton Critical Editions. A Chronology, rigorously updated Selected Bibliography, and Index of Titles and First Lines are also included. All 23 critical selections are new, and include analysis of Shelley's manuscripts and other textual sources for his writing as well as interpretations. The years since 1977-when the First Edition appeared-have witnessed a renaissance in Shelley studies greater than any since 1870-92. Headnotes detailing the textual history of Shelley's major works have been revised and expanded, and many new and revised footnotes are included.
Each poetry and prose selection has been reedited from the ground up. This Second Edition is based on the authoritative texts established by Reiman and Fraistat for their scholarly edition, The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

The British Library has a short introduction to "Ozymandias" that includes excerpts of potential sources for the poem, historical information about Ramses II (Ozymandias), as well as details about Shelley's radical politics.
