ABSTRACT

Shelley, Queen Mab (pirated edition, 1821); Monthly Magazine, LI (June 1821), 460 [misprinted in original 450]-461. Conventional liberals of the Monthly Magazine variety were frightened by Shelley’s extreme theoretical speculations, for reasons that are hinted at by the present review, fearing that Shelley would play into the hands of the Tories as a typical example of the practicing liberal.
