The study contains an interesting analysis of the thesis that Shelley's \"love of abstraction is only one form--probably the most obvious and the most significant form--of a larger and more general tendency.\" The object of this essay, in the author's words, \"is to collect and combine the manifestations of this larger tendency.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two great \"abstractions\" that Firkins selects as the touchstones in his study he generalizes as \"power\" and \"elusiveness,\" and he shows how these seemingly antithetical qualities are united in both the structure and the style of all Shelley's chief poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oscar W.
