Articles by Prometheus Unbound
Joey Clark: An Election Day to remember
“Past ages crowd on thee, but each one remembers, And the future is dark, and the present is spread, Like a pillow of thorns for thy slumberless head.” ― Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound “I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death.” ― Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound Though almost every election is branded “The Most Important Election in History," some elections, indeed, prove to be more enduring than others.
Eleanor Marx Battles the Shelley Society! — Graham Henderson: Home of The Real Percy Bysshe Shelley
Eleanor Marx In 1886, at the height of the Victorian era, a group of admirers of Percy Bysshe Shelley came together to form the Shelley Society. Among the founders were some of the intellectual giants of the age.
Happy Zodiacal Valentine's Day From Percy Bysshe Shelley!!
Here at The Real Percy Bysshe Shelley I spend a lot of time focusing on Shelley’s political and philosophical writings. Around here I can sometimes forget that PB was one of the greatest of all love poets. And so this being Valentine’s Day it seems only right and proper that I should unleash the majesty of his (small “r”) romantic poems. To add some fun to the proceedings I decided to introduce an astrological element.
Shelley Storms the Fashion World with Mask of Anarchy
In what is surely one of the most unusual but at the same time coolest uses of Shelley's poetry, English fashion designer John Alexander Skelton deployed Shelley's Mask of Anarchy in his recent runway show. The circumstances are quite extraordinary. First, Skelton's entire clothing line was inspired by, and I am not making this up, the Peterloo Massacre.
Percy Bysshe Shelley In Our Time.
Shelley, who among poets was one of the most supremely political animals, described the condition of England in 1819 in a manner which should make us fear for our future. Around the globe tyrants and demagogues are taking power or going mainstream and entire civilizations are subject to theocratic dictatorships.
Frankenstein is Coming to Your Neighbourhood!!
That global conversation kicks off on Halloween, the 31st of October. And the conversation truly is global. Right now, Frankenreads has an incredible 546 institutional partners in 47 countries participating, including universities, libraries, schools, museums, and community centers, with more continuing to join each day. The Library of Congress is hosting a live-streamed public reading of the novel in its entirety. It takes place is the LoC’s Main Reading Room on Halloween.
Of Myth and Reality. My Visit to the Beach at Viareggio.
Shelley, who was a sophisticated skeptic and one of history’s great atheists, would be appalled. Because Shelley worked with mythological material so much, he is often through of as a "myth-maker". Harold Bloom must assume much of the blame for creating this idea, and Earl Wasserman for canonizing it. However, the great Gerald Hogle in his book, Shelley's Process points out that Shelley was almost the opposite of a myth-maker - he was a demythologizer.

If you're looking for the perfect quote to include in your wedding vows, consider some of these famous lines from literary history.
Shelleyan Top Ten Moments - 2017
Now, most folks also offer a reflection on the worst moments of the previous year. I am no different. For me, hands down, the worst moment of 2017 for Shelley was the release of Haifaa al Mansour’s atrocious re-invention of the lives of Mary and Percy. It is a hot mess. What facts she doesn't distort to suit her fictional story line, she simply invents. A fact checker could spend weeks correcting her mistakes.
Let Liberty Lead Us; Connecting the Radical Poetry of Cottingham, Eminem and Shelley
In Shelley's introduction to Prometheus Unbound, he proudly remarked that he had a “passion for reforming the world”. For a poet who struggled to publish his more radical poetry during his lifetime, he has a remarkable record for actually accomplishing his objective. His effect upon the modern labour and union movements has been well documented.
The Truth Matters - a Review of Haifaa al-Mansour's Movie, Mary Shelley
Haifaa al-Mansour’s new movie Mary Shelley premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2017. For those anticipating a nuanced, balanced and careful study of the relationship between two of the world’s authentic literary geniuses, Mary and Percy Shelley, I am sorry, you will be disappointed.
Jeremy Corbyn is Right: Poetry Can Change the World.
Fiona Sampson has written an absolutely brilliant article which I urge you to spend some time with and share widely. She opens by referencing Shelley's Defense of Poetry and his famous claim that "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world." She also cites The Mask of Anarchy. You can find it here: Jeremy Corbyn is Right: Poetry Can Change the World.
It Is Time For A Criminal Probe Into Tim Geithner's Leaks As Vice Chairman Of The Federal Reserve
Back in January 2013, when looking at the Fed's 2007 transcripts we stumbled upon something which in a non-banana republic would be the basis of a criminal investigation.
"An 'Old-Fashioned' Recession Is Spreading Across The World," Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Warns
The bust of Aussie boom-towns, collapse of the mining industry, dramatic capital outflows, and a bursting housing bubble all have one thing in common, according to billionaire hedge fund manager Crispin Odey - "China is everything to Australia in lots of ways." Simply put, he tells The Australian Financial Review, economies dependent on China for income, including Australia, are headed for recession and central banks will not be able to able to come to the rescue because they have exhausted...
Parasite Turns On Parasite: HFT Sues Other HFTs For "Egregious Manipulation" Of Treasury Securities
There was a time when those who dared to call out the massive Libor manipulation conspiracy (such as what Zero Hedge did with one of its first posts in 2009) for being a massive Libor manipulation conspiracy some 4 years before the "theory" became a fact, were branded as scaremongering, fringe voices, best to be ignored. Then, of course, once the "theory" became "fact" it suddenly was perfectly obvious to everyone in retrospect.
Can Brain Scans Predict The Market?
By Kabir Sehgal, the author of Coined: The Rich Life of Money And How Its History Has Shaped Us. He is a former vice president at an investment bank. I’m not good at predicting the market. At first, I thought it was just me. In 2008, I began working in sales and trading at an investment bank. I lacked formal training in fundamental security analysis, and my projections rarely matched actual outcomes.
The Disintegrating Empire Of "Controlled" Chaos
The term “chaos” has been popping up a lot lately in the increasingly collapse-prone world in which we find ourselves. Pepe Escobar has even published a book on it.
