A Letter to Lord Ellenborough: Occasioned by the Sentence Which he Passed on Mr. D.I. Eaton as Publisher of the Third Part of Paine's "Age of Reason"

Meer over het boek

This book is a scathing critique of the legal system in England, written as an open letter to Lord Ellenborough in protest of his harsh sentence against Mr. Di Eaton. The letter was penned by Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of England's most famous poets, and argues for freedom of the press and the right to publish controversial ideas. Shelley's eloquent defense of free speech is as relevant today as it was in his time.
