"A Defence of Poetry" is an essential essay by Percy Bysshe Shelley, written in 1821, where he explores the role and importance of poetry in society. In this work, Shelley argues that poetry is a vital form of expression that conveys deep truth and beauty, transcending the constraints of reason and logic. He emphasizes the transformative power of poetry, asserting that it promotes moral and social progress. By celebrating the imagination, Shelley posits that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world, responsible for shaping thoughts and ideals. The essay reflects Shelley's commitment to the profound impact of art on human experience. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
