Masque of Anarchy
The Masque of Anarchy, written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1819 and published posthumously in 1832, is a political poem responding to the Peterloo massacre, where 18 people died during a rally for parliamentary reform in Manchester. The poem critiques tyranny and advocates for social justice, reflecting Shelley's radical views. This edition includes a preface by Leigh Hunt and an 1887 lecture by Harry Buxton Forman, providing context and analysis of the work's significance in the fight against oppression.
