Shelley and Vitality reassesses Percy Shelley's engagement with early nineteenth-century science and medicine, specifically his knowledge and use of theories on the nature of life presented in the debate between surgeons John Abernethy and William Lawrence. Sharon Ruston offers new biographical information to link Shelley to a medical circle and explores the ways in which Shelley exploits the language and ideas of vitality. Major canonical works are reconsidered to address Shelley's politicised understanding of contemporary scientific discourse.

Deeply scholarly, and making persuasive use of manuscript sources, it proves links and influences that were not fully appreciated hitherto - and it does so in a consistently readable narrative, whose style is engaging, to-the-point and clear.' - Professor Tim Fulford, Department of English and Media Studies, Nottingham Trent University, UK

'Ruston usefully expands upon [is] Shelley's connection with the central medical debate of his age: the controversy surrounding vitalism - what gives life to matter' - G. Kim Blank, Times Higher Education
