Re-Visiting P.B. Shelley's Antithesism and Creed from a Middle Eastern Perspective (PDF)

Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: -, , course: Dr. Rafiq Zakaria Campus; Ph.D, language: English, abstract: Religiosity has probably a definite place in Shelley's works. He has dealt with various creeds, doctrines and religions. His poems and essays have been partly allocated to directly or indirectly reform religious institutions, re-correct their personal-biased representatives and re-adopt himself to a desired creed. Seemingly he has been occupied in being accused of atheism to the level he called himself an atheist which may mean an antitheist- a contemplator, what others have decided for him, an atheist of a religion that its tops incite committing heinous acts against humanity in the name of God or an allusion in which he means to say if you religiosnism is like what you cruelly act and decadently behave, I consider myself an atheist of that religiosity. He appears to have found his antique clock which he had been seeking for so long in a certain monotheistic belief. The researcher focuses in this study on an overlooked creed in previous studies while other beliefs and creeds may be peeked out. It sheds light through descriptive and analytical approach together with reader's-oriented response on major characteristics in Shelley's life, letters and poems together with exposing some different critics' and researchers' views.
