Description: Panelists address the enduring provocations of Prometheus Unbound at its publication bicentenary, as a work involving and involved with the dynamics of change—social, political, cultural, and planetary. A keystone for Romantic studies and contemporary politics, Shelley’s verse-drama offers a timely vision of individual and collective change as dependent on interlocking scientific, posthuman, affective, ecological, textual, and gendered systems.
