Why no bust of Shelley? 🤔 Early on, we planned one, but changed direction. A visit to France’s Galerie David d’Angers, home to stunning Romantic-era sculpture, confirmed it. Shelley left us no faithful image. But he left us something deeper: his words. #Shelley

We came across this event happening on Monday 19th, whose title borrows from #Shelley's most iconic work. The title Rise Like Lions is a tribute to Shelley’s enduring legacy and reminds us of how poetry challenges injustice and fights for change. marylebonetheatre.com/productions/ri…

For almost as long as Shelley's work has been published, people have debated the question, 'Was Shelley a Socialist?' There were many with that view including Eleanor Marx, G.B. Shaw and Paul Foot. This recent article found, explores the question. socialistforum.dsausa.org/issues/summer-…
