The Revolt of Islam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Revolt of Islam was a poem, originally titled Laon and Cythna, composed by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1817. The plot centers on two characters named Laon and Cythna who initiate a bloodless revolution against the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Despite its title, the poem does not have anything to do with Islam in particular, though the general subject of religion is addressed.
