Description
-
This 1973 edition of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s radical poem 'The Mask of Anarchy' was published by Kropotkin’s Lighthouse Publications, with a foreword by poet Dennis Gould. Written in 1819 in response to the Peterloo Massacre, Shelley’s call for nonviolent resistance became one of the most influential protest poems in English literature. Reissued during the 1970s, amid renewed interest in political poetry and grassroots publishing, this slim pamphlet links Romantic radicalism with contemporary struggles. Its production by a small press underscores the enduring power of Shelley’s words to inspire movements for justice, solidarity, and social change across generations.
