| Summary |
"Ozymandias,"ℓone of Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley's most famous short poems, was first published in 1818. The central theme of the poem is the inevitable decline of all leaders and empires. Shelley's workℓwas influenced by the recent defeat of Napoleon by the British, as well as the Regency-era fascination with all things exotic and foreign—it wasℓwritten at a time when masses ofℓEgyptian artifacts,ℓsuch asℓthe famedℓRosetta Stone,ℓwere being excavated and acquired by the British Museum and by other collectors both public and private. |
