The mask of Anarchy

SINOPSIS

THE MASK OF ANARCHY – by Percy Bysshe Shelley is considered one of the best political poems ever written in English language. Written on the occasion of the massacre carried out by the British Government at St Peter’s Field, Manchester 1819, Shelley begins his poem with the powerful surrealistic images of the unjust forms of authority of his time “God, and King, and Law” – and he then imagines the stirrings of a radically new form of social action: “Let a great assembly be, of the fearless, of the free”.

LA MÀSCARA DE L’ANARQUIA – DE Percy Bysshe Shelley es considera un dels millors poemes polítics escrits en llengua anglesa.

I llavors símagina l’aixecament una forma radicalment nova d’acció social: “Que es faci una gran assemblea, dels sense por, dels lliures…”
