Inhalt:
An impressive and well-crafted essay collection that will be of real interest to Godwin scholars at a time when he remains a prominent figure within Romantic debates. - Paul Keen, is Professor of English at Carleton University, Canada, and author of A Defence of the Humanities in a Utilitarian Age (2020). This collection showcases work on William Godwin (1756-1836) foregrounding new critical approaches and uncovering new texts. Godwin is a familiar presence in scholarship on the Shelley-Godwin circle and on Dissenting intellectual circles, but the present collection considers him closely as an author and thinker on his own terms. The range of texts and topics covered by this collection will be of interest both to scholars familiar with Godwin and those approaching his work for the first time. .
