"The Radicalism of Shelley and Its Sources" by Daniel J. MacDonald is a scholarly dissertation written in the early 20th century. This work explores the development of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley's radical religious and political views, delving into the various influences that shaped his character and creative output. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these influences and how they manifest in Shelley's poetry. The opening of the dissertation provides an insightful introduction to the perplexing nature of Shelley's radicalism. MacDonald begins by addressing the wide range of opinions surrounding Shelley, from those who view him as an angelic figure to those who regard him as deeply flawed. He then defines radicalism and discusses its positive and negative connotations, arguing that radicalism has historically been a driving force for social progress. The section emphasizes that understanding Shelley's radicalism is essential for appreciating his work, as it stems from the societal discontent he experienced throughout his life, particularly during his formative years at school and university.
