	The Masque of Anarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Masque of Anarchy is a political poem written in 1819 by Percy Bysshe Shelley following the Peterloo massacre of that year.
		It mentions several members of Lord Liverpool's government by name: the Foreign Secretary, Castlereagh who appears as a mask worn by Murder, the Home Secretary, Lord Sydmouth whose guise is taken by Hypocrisy, and the Lord Chancellor, Lord Eldon whose ermine gown is worn by Fraud.
		Led by Anarchy, a skeleton with a crown, they try to take over England, but are slain by a mysterious armored figure who arises from a mist.

	What is Anarchy? by David A. Andrade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Anarchy says no government shall interfere in the commercial affairs of individuals and nations, but each shall be free to deal with whom he likes, and to exchange what commodities he chooses to.
		Anarchy says there is room for all that work, and we can only spare to lose the drones from amongst us; if they desire to disappear off the face of the earth by practicing Malthusian doctrines, let them; it is nature's way of ridding herself of the unfit.
		Anarchy recognizes that society is a growth; that the terrible tyrannies which so oppress it are but the natural results of its blind gropings in its infancy; that in its dull infancy it evolved "The State", but as knowledge grows upon it, it shall as surely evolve a system of liberty.

	Anarchism and the arts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abstract expressionism also included anarchist artists such as Mark Rothko and painters such as Jackson Pollock, who had adopted radical ideas during his experience as a muralist for the Works Progress Administration.
		David Weir has argued in Anarchy and Culture that anarchism's only had some success in the sphere of cultural avant-gardism because of its failure as a political movement; cognizant of anarchism's claims to overcome the barrier between art and political activism, he neverthless suggests that this is not achieved in reality.
		In the late 20th century, anarchism and the arts could primarily be associated with the collage works by James Koehnline, Johan Humyn Being, and others, whose work was being published in anarchist magazines, including Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed and Fifth Estate.

	'The Masque of Anarchy' - by Vigilant, Westralian Worker, 8 June 1917
		Anarchy is masked by law and the symbols of law.
		Though “The Masque of Anarchy does not display the more wonderful complexities of thought existing in most of Shelley’s work, it is none the less typical of its author.
		It is addressed to the men of England, in their own tongue, and in a literary form capable of appreciation by all in whom the call of Freedom finds an echo.

	Scrivener, Introduction - Reading Shelley's Interventionist Poetry, 1819-1820 - Romantic Circles Praxis Series
		The first of several historical ironies is that none of the interventionist poetry did much intervening at the time it was written, as only Swellfoot was published in Shelley's lifetime, and Swellfoot perished soon after its discovery by the Society for the Suppression of Vice that consigned every copy to the fire.
		From the unextinguished hearth of Shelley's writing, however, sparks intervened not just in 1832, with Leigh Hunt's Masque of Anarchy, but, as we learn from Rob Kaufman's paper, in the 1930s and 40s in translations and appropriations by the German left, Brecht, Benjamin, and Wolfenstein.
		Swellfoot comes to life as the transgressive body of Iona/"Queen Caroline" in Samuel Gladden's paper, while the Mask of Anarchy occasions a new meditation on committed art—or rather, provokes readings by Mark Kipperman and Rob Kaufman that are an Aufebung of the older discussions of politics and art.

	World Socialist Movement - Socialist Writers: Shelley
		Some Irish nationalists have equated this with sympathy for Irish nationalism but Shelley, whose constituency was the toiling masses everywhere, did not subscribe to the myth that the English working class were the beneficiaries of English imperialism.
		Thus, after hearing of the Peterloo Massacre at Manchester in 1819, Shelley wrote the Masque of Anarchy in which he describes the contemporary condition of the working class in England:
		Whatever its poetic qualities, Shelley's Masque of Anarchy must rank, from a working - class standpoint, as the most chdactic of English poetical works.

		The Peterloo affair (16 August) roused Shelley’s fierce indignation, and, in brief serried stanzas as of knotted whipcord, he lashed the man whom he chose to hold responsible for the threatened revolution.
		The Masque of Anarchy is much more, however, than a derisive arraignment of the arch-“anarch” Castlereagh.
		Of Shelley’s finest vein of poetry, it contains few hints; but, without it, we should more unreservedly discredit his sense for the realities of a free national life.

		In 1821, inspired by the death of John Keats, Shelley wrote the elegy Adonais.

		Jean Charles de Menezes — eight bullets pumped into his head by the frightened British constabulary — has become an icon for human rights consciousness which may be globally vocal, but is, practically, even more helpless in protecting the multitude from arbitrary state action.
		A “Masque of Anarchy”, much as Shelley described it for post-Waterloo high Tory Britain, goes on in the name of law and order in the once-liberal democracies of the Western world.
		Menezes — an icon of despair, singled out from the crowd near grimy Clapham, and shot down in a travesty of anti-terrorist warfare — could well be Everyman journeying into the Vale of Darkness.

		Shelley had been fascinated by the lurid story of Beatrice Cenci and Guido's portrait of her seen in the Colunna palace at Rome, and originally intended the latter to be copied as a frontispiece for this book.
		He worked exceptionally fast on his version of the tragedy, starting in May and ending in August of his annus mirabilis, the same year he wrote Prometheus Unbound, The Masque of Anarchy, and the 'Ode to the West Wind'.
		The book is excellently produced, well printed on thick laid paper: 'It has a few errors of the press incidental to the Italian compositors' ignorance of English.

		It's wholly untrue to assert, as many conservative critics do, that art that engages with social and political critique compromises an essential artistic purity.
		Much of the significant art of the past three centuries - from Shelley's Masque of Anarchy and Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro to the work of Brecht's Berliner Ensemble or Brazilian theatre activist Augusto Boal - has been in the tradition of political and social dissent.
		As well as, it must be confessed, much of the worst - we've seen agitprop, and we don't like it.

	Broadside ballad concerning the incompetence of politicians
		Probably written some time between 1830 and 1860, this broadside ballad is a vitriolic attack on all politicians, regardless of party.
		As the names of the politicians are blanked out by the anonymous writer, the ballad resembles a masque - indeed, the style, tone and subject matter of the ballad is similar to 'The Masque of Anarchy', by P.B. Shelley.
		The ballad cuts its way through this procession of politicians, highlighting their many flaws and comparing them to chimpanzees and baboons.

		This is an extract from The Masque of Anarchy, Percy Bysshe Shelley's response to the Peterloo massacre of English workers.
		Just offering the obvious balance to the fey Shelley stuff so far [1] - because I think it's rather unfair to a poet who (along with Blake), exemplified the defiant, incendiary spirit of the Romantics.
