Shelley's Obituary

This obituary was immediately followed in the same issue of the Gentleman’s Magazine by a short notice of the death of one Percy Bysshe Shelley, son of the Whig MP for Horsham. ‘Supposed to have perished at sea, in a storm, somewhere off Via Reggio, on the coast of Italy … Mr Shelley is unfortunately too well-known for his infamous novels and poems. He openly professed himself an atheist. His works bear the following titles: Prometheus Chained [sic] … etc.’69 For good measure a London daily newspaper, the Courier, added: ‘Shelley, the writer of some infidel poetry, has been drowned: now he knows whether there is a God or no.’

Notes:

Called him "infamous" and condemned his atheism.
