"A Defence of Poetry" by Percy Bysshe Shelley is an essay that explores the power and significance of poetry and the arts in society. Shelley argues that poetry serves as a vital means of expression and communication, transcending mere entertainment to influence thoughts and ethics. The essay examines the connection between poetry, beauty, and the moral fabric of society, rooting its significance in the culture of ancient Athens. In the Preface to Plato's "Banquet," Shelley reflects on the nature of love and its inspirational role in creativity, emphasizing the enduring relevance of poetic truth in understanding human experience and relationships.
