About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 12 recordings of Dirge for the Year by Percy Bysshe Shelley. This was the Weekly Poetry project for December 27, 2015. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Brian Darby; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; Fabiola; Greg Giordano; Ian King; John Burlinson; Jennifer Fournier; J. McDougall; Lee Ann Howlett and Maria Kasper. Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the major English Romantic poets, and is regarded by some as among the finest lyric, as well as epic, poets in the English language. A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views, Shelley did not see fame during his lifetime, but recognition for his poetry grew steadily following his death. Shelley was a key member of a close circle of visionary poets and writers that included Lord Byron; Leigh Hunt; Thomas Love Peacock; and his own second wife, Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein.
