document with a digital pencil & ink illustration of poet, percy bysshe shelley, that discusses examples of his progressive views on women's rights. the text reads: as a writer during the romantic period, shelley stood out because of his alignment with some feminist ideals of his time, especially the breaking the binary of gender roles & expectations. shelley may not be a contemporary embodiment of a feminist, but I see him as possessing some feminist values & pushing towards feminist ideals. shelley respected his wife as an author & as an individual. shelley’s use of female characters in his works also shows that he is in support of women being main characters & being strong roles in his works. some of shelley’s thoughts regarding women resonate with those of the late mary wollstonecraft as she believes that ‘if women are to be excluded, without having a voice, from a participation of the natural rights of mankind, prove first, to ward off the charge of injustice & inconsistency…will ever shew that man must, in some shape, act like a tyrant, & tyranny, in whatever part of society it rears its brazen front, will ever undermine morality’ (67). shelley challenges the relationship of oppressed & oppressor in his play & proves that he does not wish for the oppressors to be successful.

because i've been reading a lot of his work again of late - & because i made the mistake of watching 'haunted summer' today in a fit of folly - had to have a go at depicting the laudanum daddy himself, percy bysshe shelley. naturally, i've romanticised him.

'i used to think of Shelley as just another one of those dead white poets who wrote difficult poetry for difficult people, but then I learnt how dedicated he was to justice & the liberation of the poor.'
this short piece that ben wrote for percy is just so fucking sweet.
