Percy Bysshe Shelley - Queen Mab: "Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."

The verse drama, written as a tribute to Prince Alexander Mavrocordato, reflects Shelley's admiration and support for the Greek struggle for independence against Turkish rule. Inspired by Aeschylus' Persae, it serves as a poignant commentary on freedom and resistance. Despite his limited publication during his lifetime due to his radical views, this work stands as a testament to Shelley's poetic brilliance and his commitment to political causes. Tragically, his untimely death at 29 cut short a promising career, leaving behind a legacy of profound literary contributions.
