don't forget though, of the original 250 printed, 180 vanished (i think) -
shelley gave away 70 copies. the radical printers who took it up rescued it
from 'oblivion' (apart from sections published in journal/s), at least to
some extent. but, of course, they published it for the notes as much as (or
more than) for the poetry... and shelley, at least in the spirit of
composing it, would have been pleased to see it break through the 'class
barrier'.
best,
