"My name is Percy Bysshe Shelley (/bɪʃ/ ⓘ BISH;[1][2] 4 August 1792 – 8 July 1822) I was a British writer who I considered as one of the major English Romantic poets. A radical in my poetry as well as in my political and social views, I did not achieve fame during my lifetime, but recognition of my achievements in poetry grew steadily following my death, and I became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets, including Robert Browning, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, and W. B. Yeats. American literary critic Harold Bloom describes me as "a superb craftsman, a lyric poet without rival, and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem"."
