First American edition. Shelley: A Life Story received a positive review in Time in 1947. The reviewer noted that the book had been "greeted in England as the first really satisfactory life of England's great romantic poet", adding that "Blunden writes of Shelley devotedly, but with the ease and savor of long personal familiarity not only with Shelley's works, but with his period (1792-1822), the scenes in which he lived and the mass of material about him." The gay scholar John Lauritsen called the book the best life of Shelley in The Man Who Wrote Frankenstein (2007), commenting that Blunden "brings a poet's understanding to Shelley's life and poetry."
