Percy Bysshe Shelley received a classical education at home before attending University College in Oxford in 1810. While at Oxford, he published an atheist pamphlet that led to his expulsion. In 1811, he eloped with Harriet Westbrook and had two children, though their marriage collapsed when he eloped with Mary Godwin in 1814. Shelley wrote several poems early in his career and continued writing up until his death by drowning in 1822 at age 30, when his schooner sank during a sudden storm in the Gulf of Spezia in Italy.

4. EDUCATION
 He received his early education at home,
tutored by the Reverend Evan Edwards
of nearby Warnham. His cousin and
lifelong friend Thomas Medwin, who
lived nearby, recounted his early
childhood in his "The Life of Percy
Bysshe Shelley". It was a happy and
contented childhood spent largely in
country pursuits such as fishing and
hunting.

5. PERCY’S EARLIER WORKS
 He began writing some short fiction pieces. In
the course of his first and only year at Oxford
University, in England (1810–1811), Shelley and
a friend Thomas Jefferson Hogg issued a
pamphlet provocatively entitled "The Necessity
of Atheism (the belief that there is no God)."
Both students were expelled from the
university. This event intensified Shelley's
rebelliousness against accepted notions of law
and order, both in his private life and in
government. In the summer of 1811 Shelley met
and married Harriet Westbrook

6. In 1810, Percy Shelley went to
University College in Oxford. In
1811 he met and eloped to
Edinburgh with Harriet Westbrook
and, one year later, went with her
and her older sister to Dublin,
then to Devon and North Wales,
where they stayed for six months
into 1813. They married, and one
year later, in 1814. However, with
the birth of two children, their
collapsed and he eloped once
again, this time with Mary Godwin

9. PERCY’S DEATH
 On 8 July 1822, less than a month before his
30th birthday, Shelley drowned in a sudden
storm while sailing back from Leghorn (Livorno)
to Lerici in his schooner, Don Juan. He was
returning from having set up The Liberal with
the newly arrived Leigh Hunt. The name "Don
Juan", a compliment to Byron, was chosen by
Edward John Trelawny, a member of the
Shelley–Byron Pisan circle. However, according
to Mary Shelley's testimony, Shelley changed it
to "Ariel".
