The 1810s, during which Shelley wrote most of his major works, was characterized by social unrest and active debate over social reform. The lower classes expressed their dissatisfaction with the existing political and economic structures through several major public uprisings and strikes, which the government harshly repressed, even to the extent of killing people as in the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. All the political and social turmoils of this period ushered in an active discussion about violence in English society. In contemporary reform politics, the question of violence was a matter closely related to a larger discourse of reform vs. revolution. Shelley strongly protested against the violent tactics used by the ruling classes to oppress people, but, at the same time asked people never to resort to violence in their social protests. He believed that English society needed a revolutionary social reformation, but he did not want to have it accomplished through bloody violence as in the French Revolution. He suggests that people should use the power of reason, instead of violence because he believed that changing people’s social concepts of oppression and liberty was the first step in bringing about the social reform he longed for.
