Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionShelley took his place within the vatic history of mythopoetic bards and bore the Visionary legacy. He offered a simple spark of poetry to his audience while promising a raging fire would burn if the poetry was nurtured correctly. However, Shelley realized that most people cannot accept the poets offering (for various reasons; ignoring, rejecting or misunderstanding) and they let that spark smolder into nothing. Shelley shouts into his written words, leaving his hardearned knowledge of the human condition and his visionary plight for willing human ears. Shelley paints himself as the Visionary, sound and steady within a wisdom that understands the suffering beauty of the human condition, who sits as a 'tranquil star' to burn as heavenly light. Shelleys hope is to guide humanity through the dark night of doubt and fear towards the possibility laying dormant within being human. This volume contains the following essays: A Defence of Poetry On Love On Life On A Future State On the Punishment of Death, A Fragment Speculations on Metaphysics Speculations on Morals Essay on the Literature, The Arts, and the Manners of the Athenians, A Fragment On the Symposium, Or Preface to the Banquet of Plato, A Fragment Even Love is Sold, An Essay on Prostitution The Necessity of Atheism, A Note on Queen MabAbout the AuthorJ.
