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.
