Support

In this renowned work, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley expands on his celebrated statement that “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, ” and assiduously and lyrically rebuts the assertion made in the essay “Four Ages of Poetry” (written by his contemporary Thomas Love Peacock) that poetry has no place in a world of technology and science.

About the author


Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) is one of the great Romantic poets. His pamphlet ‘The Necessity of Atheism, ‘ caused his expulsion from Oxford, but he continued to write shocking works. He is best known for his poems and his dramatic play, “Prometheus Unbound.” He died shortly before his thirtieth birthday, having drowned in a storm while sailing off the coast of Italy.
