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.UCLA Clark Memorial Library series.PHILOSOPHY / GeneralbisacshElectronic books.PHILOSOPHY / General.828/.609Maniquis Robert, 890503Maniquis Robert M.Myers VictoriaWilliam Andrews Clark Memorial Library.University of California, Los Angeles.Center for 17th- & 18th- Century Studies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQCover image:http://celarc.ca/covers/436/436861.jpgBOOK9910457247603321Godwinian moments1989200UNINA
