Radical Shelley: The Philosophical Anarchism and Utopian Thought of Percy Bysshe Shelley

By Michael Henry Scrivener

Book Overview

This study oilers a new definition of Shelley s place in English radical culture. Treating the poet's literary career as an active intervention in the social world, Professor Scrivener shows how Shelley designed each text to provoke different audiences in a Utopian direction, despite the political repression and other cultural limitations of which he was acutely aware.

Originally published in 1982.
