Which Romantic poet was deeply interested in politics and argued in the critical essay A Defence of Poetry that poets are “the unacknowledged legislators of the world”? Correct Answer Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Bysshe Shelley’s revolutionary ardour caused him to claim in his critical essay A Defence of Poetry (1821, published 1840) that “the most unfailing herald, companion, and follower of the awakening of a great people to work a beneficial change in opinion or institution, is poetry” and that poets are “the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
