Two centuries after Percy Shelley's death, his writings continue to resonate with pressing societal issues. Shelley addressed climate change, women's liberation, nonbinary gender, and protest, while speaking to indigenous, queer/trans, differently abled, displaced, and working-class communities. He still inspires artists and social justice movements around the world today. Yet Percy Shelley for Our Times reveals an even more far-sighted writer, whose poetic methodology went beyond the didactic powers of prophetic art. Not historicist, presentist, or transhistorical, Shelley "for our times" conceives worlds outside himself, his poetry, and his era, envisioning how audiences connect and collaborate across space and time. This collection revitalizes a writer once considered an adolescent of idealist protest, showing how his interwoven poetics of relationality continually revisits the meaning of community and the contemporary.
