It offers significant new datings and contextual exposition of major works including \u003ci\u003ePrometheus Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLaon and Cythna\u003c\/i\u003e, 'Julian and Maddalo', \u003ci\u003eThe Cenci\u003c\/i\u003e, and Shelley's translations from the Greek, notably his highly original translation of Euripides' \u003ci\u003eThe Cyclops\u003c\/i\u003e.
