Percy Bysshe Shelley was a famous English Romantic poet born in 1792 in Sussex, England. He was one of the second generation of Romantic poets. Shelley was educated at Eton and Oxford but was expelled from university for publishing a pamphlet questioning the existence of God. Some of Shelley's most famous works included Queen Mab, The Revolt of Islam, Adonais, an elegy for his friend John Keats, and Alastor. Shelley believed that poets were the unacknowledged legislators of the world. He tragically died young at age 29 by drowning.
