"The book upholds the recent views and interpretations on Shelley in modern perspective in the form of articles. Shelley is not outdated, he is rather relevant more and more with the passage of time. His love, enlightenment and critique of tradition are note-worthy. The guiding principles of French Revolution: Equality, Fraternity and Liberty are best-practiced by Shelley. His vision of a new world could be realized only when his writings could be understood not only in the context of his own time, but also in relation to the contemporary time." (jacket)
