The Mask of Anarchy

The Mask of Anarchy  by Percy Bysshe Shelley is considered one of the best political poems ever written in English language. 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. Gandhi's passive resistance was influenced and inspired by Shelley's nonviolence in protest and political action. It is known that Gandhi would often quote Shelley's Masque of Anarchy to vast audiences during the campaign for the independence of India.
