[A] volume that excitingly probes Shelley's reception in a dizzyingly broad range of languages, from Catalan and Greek to Bulgarian and Romanian.
Year's Work in English Studies, vol 89, no. 1
‘The successive essays cover an unexpectedly inclusive variety of national situations, and repeatedly demonstrates the power of Shelley's different received images...to embody different aspects of cultural crisis.'
- Romantic Studies Bulletin and Review,
‘This is a fascinating book with a wonderful range of afterlives and countries.'
- The Keats-Shelley Review,
‘The book under review, which is the sixteenth volume of the valuable series on "The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe" is, therefore, a welcome edition to Shelley's scholarship... The timeline alone is an indispensible tool, as well as being the scaffolding for the rest of the book.'
- The Keats-Shelley Journal,
... this new publication in the meritorious series is to be highly welcomed in the field of both Romantic Studies and comparative literature... In view of the gigantic task and the bewildering richness of names, titles and historical facts one cannot but congratulate the editors and contributors on their careful work.
- Archiv,
