Not unlike Byron, Shelley's poetry struggles to romanticize an increasingly prosaic world.

A-Like Byrons's, Shelly's poetry is prosaic.
B-Like Byron's poetry, Shelly's poetry is prosaic.

Which one is correct for GMAT?

OA : B

I think, while making comparisons like can be followed by nouns/pronouns(possibly modified) but not by a possessive. Case A seems to violate that

Hi,
Are you sure both options are given for the question? For me op A is just as correct as op B. It is understood that Byron's = Byron's poetry.
Cheers!

Yes Frank, I am definately sure. B is more correct than A in Gmat context
