England Poem

Description: 

The romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley's "England in 1819" is found to show the political trust and anger. First sent as an untitled development to a private letter, the sonnet portrays Shelley's mourning at the crises tormenting his nation's origin during one of significant lengths of its arrangement of encounters. The said sonnet begins by attacking England's higher authorities and associations, considering the public authority a hostile parasite draining the country of its life strength. The honorability is totally removed, the speaker continues, while starving inhabitants stay mishandled, brutally, by the so-called greedy government that forces the freedom opportunities for those about which this revolution was started (Shelley).
