Publisher Description

The Necessity of Atheism

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

Introduction by Henry S. Salt.

Narrated by Oberon Michaels

The Necessity of Atheism was first published by Shelley in 1811. In 1813 he printed a revised and expanded version of it as one of the notes to his poem Queen Mab.

Shelley evinced a searing contempt for organized religion but maintained a belief in a benevolent non-sectarian World Spirit.

in the opening statement of this pamphlet, he makes clear the nature of his qualified deism :

"There is no God. This negation must be understood solely to affect a creative Deity. The hypothesis of a pervading Spirit co-eternal with the universe remains unshaken."

About Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets and is regarded by critics as amongst the finest lyric poets in the English language. A radical in his poetry as well as his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition for his poetry grew steadily following his death. Shelley is perhaps best known for such classic poems as “Ozymandias,” “Ode to the West Wind,” “The Masque of Anarchy,” and others.
