Red Shelley - Paul Foot - Bog

First published in 1980, this edition of Red Shelley has been issued as a tribute to Paul Foot on the twentieth anniversary of his untimely death in 2004. Anyone lucky enough to have heard Foot speaking about Shelley at the packed-out meetings in the early 1980s will recognise that all the passion and emotion of those meetings are poured onto the pages of this book. Foot writes in a clear, straightforward, and expressive prose that rescues Shelley from the distortions of the establishment and the complexity of the academy. Red Shelley is a powerful polemic that offers the best possible introduction to the radical and revolutionary content of Shelley s poetry and political philosophy. - Paul O''Brien from the foreword
