Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 â€“ 1822) was a major English Romantic poet. Many of his works are among the most popular and critically acclaimed poems in the English language. Shelley was extremely influential to countless prominent poets including Browning, Tennyson, Byron, Thoreau, Yeats, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Prominent figures such as Karl Marx, George Bernard Shaw, Isadora Duncan, and Upton Sinclair were fans of his works, and Gandhi frequently read Shelley's "Mask of Anarchy" aloud at demonstrations.
