Most controversial were the details of the romantic liaisons of Godwin's wife, Mary Wollstonecraft, with both American Gilbert Imlay and Godwin himself. Wollstonecraft's life and writings became central to a continuing discussion about love's place in human society. Literary radicals argued that the cultivation of intense friendship could lead to the renovation of social and political institutions, whereas others maintained that these freethinkers were indulging their own desires with a disregard for stability and higher authority. Through correspondence and novels, Andrew Cayton finds an ideal lens to view authors, characters, and readers all debating love's power to alter men and women in the world around them. Cayton argues for Wollstonecraft's and Godwin's enduring influence on fiction published in Great Britain and the United States and explores Mary Godwin Shelley's endeavors to sustain her mother's faith in romantic love as an engine of social change"--Provided by publisher.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismLove in literatureAmerican fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and societyEnglandHistory19th centuryLiterature and societyUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPolitics and literatureEnglandHistory19th centuryPolitics and literatureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryRadicalism in literatureElectronic books.English fictionHistory and criticism.Love in literature.American fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryPolitics and literatureHistoryPolitics and literatureHistoryRadicalism in literature.820.9/3543Cayton Andrew R.
