pamphleteer who contributed extensively to the political and cultural shifts of 1783 to 1834. These essays reveal Godwin as a manyfaceted thinker, pursuing progressive change through various genres and discursive contexts, while confronting moments of tension and contradiction in his views.Leading scholars of British Romanticism examine his writings both well-known, such as Caleb Williams and Political Justice, and neglected, including The Inquirer, Mandeville, and his dramas. Along with sections on his engagements with radicalism and with history, this collection provides a fascinating look at his relations with philanthropist Thomas Wedgwood and Jewish radical John King. Godwinian Moments is a valuable resource for understanding the intellectual and societal shifts of the long nineteenth-century. |
