Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay aims to discuss Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem The Mask of Anarchy within its historical context and in relation to contemporary critical debates. The paper intends to explore Shelley’s own response to the arbitrary power that engendered the violence of the Peterloo Massacre on 10 August 1819, during a demonstration in favour of Parliamentary reform. The essay opens by recalling the remarkable phenomenon of the radical free press that was produced in reaction to Peterloo, giving rise to what has been called a ‘culture of resistance’. It then attempts to explore the intricacy of Shelley’s own ideological views, together with the creative process that enabled him to turn The Mask of Anarchy into a visionary poem, both aesthetically autonomous and politically interventionist.

雪莱的《道德与政治之间的无政府状态的面具》

摘要本文旨在探讨雪莱的诗歌《无政府状态的面具》在其历史背景下以及与当代批评辩论的关系。本文旨在探讨雪莱本人对1819年8月10日彼得罗大屠杀暴力事件的武断权力的回应，当时正值支持议会改革的示威活动。这篇文章首先回顾了激进自由新闻的显著现象，这是对彼得罗的反应，引发了所谓的“抵抗文化”。然后，它试图探索雪莱自己意识形态观点的复杂性，以及使他能够将《无政府状态的面具》变成一首富有远见的诗的创作过程，既有美学自主性，也有政治干预性。
