Epipsychidion is a major poetical work published in 1821 by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The work was subtitled Verses addressed to the noble and unfortunate Lady Emilia V—, now imprisoned in the convent of —. The title is Greek for "concerning or about a little soul", from epi, "around", "about"; and psychidion, "little soul". The poem is an exploration of ideal love, Platonism, and the soul's search for its "corresponding antitype", a spiritual union. It advocates for free love over conventional marriage. Emilia Viviani is imprisoned in a convent by her father in Pisa, Italy to force her into an arranged marriage. Shelley attacked this as "paternalistic tyranny" and sought to obtain her release. He saw her as a "noble and unfortunate lady" who was the victim of unjust societal conventions and laws.
