Written on the occasion of the massacre carried out by the British Government at St Peter's Field, Manchester 1819,  Shelley elaborates on the psychological consequences of violence met with pacifism. A version was taken up by Henry David Thoreau in his essay Civil Disobedience, and later by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in his doctrine of Satyagraha.
