New Approaches to William Godwin
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-62914-4 (ISBN)
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.
Eliza O'Brien works in further education, and has published a range of articles on Godwin and his circle.
