The Plays of William Godwin cover

Best known for "Enquiry Concerning Political Justice" (1793) and "Caleb Williams" (1794), William Godwin (1756-1836) is one of the most important figures of the Romantic period. This book offers academics the chance to build a complete picture of Godwin as a writer and political figure.

'we finally have available an authoritative print version of what Godwin considered some of his most important work' The Wordsworth Circle 'David O'Shaughnessy's comprehensive edition of these four dramas makes gripping reading for all those who are interested in William Godwin's writing.' The Times Literary Supplement 'O'Shaughnessy's source for all four texts is the manuscript. His introduction provides the composition history, a plot summary, an account of sources and influences, and a reception history for each play. Recommended.' CHOICE
