The Mask of Anarchy: Written on Occasion of the Massacre at Manchester Paperback - 2007

by Percy Bysshe Shelley; Introduction by Harry Buxton Forman


From the publisher

""The Mask of Anarchy"" is a political poem written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in response to the infamous Peterloo Massacre that occurred in Manchester, England in 1819. The poem is a scathing critique of the British government and its treatment of the working class, who were brutally attacked by the authorities during a peaceful demonstration for reform. Shelley's poem is a call to arms for the oppressed, urging them to rise up against their oppressors and demand their rights. The title of the poem refers to the ""mask of anarchy"" that the government wears, hiding their true intentions and actions from the people. Shelley's powerful and emotive language makes this poem a timeless classic that still resonates with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
