Instead of Percy Shelly's "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world" we should take the pressure of the human individual and say, like I.A. Richards "Poetry is the unacknowledged legislation of the world".
Otherwise it's hard to make use of a lot of poems and other works... like Chomsky's analysis of Western power, policy, and media..

Shelley's revision of Aeschylus's "Prometheus Bound" as one element of his argument for artistic freedom is a massive (but hardly epic) poem, full of un-subtle characterizations and a head-scratching conclusion.

Classic, yes, but Shelley's long poem works overhard to propound its argument amid a myth made melodrama.
