Universality of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Faiz Ahmed Faiz Ideological Art: A Comparative Study

Abstract

This paper is based on the comparative study of the two revolutionary poets of their own times, PB Shelley (1792–1822) and Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1911-1984). These two poets belonged different social, political and cultural contexts. However, both the poets revolted against all sorts of anarchy, tyranny and misrule, for the creation of a new world, where equality and peace would prevail, and oppression, exploitation and war would disappear forever. They covered an area of remarkable width and variety in literature. The present paper focuses on Shelley and Faiz’s universality of art and humanitarian approach.
