Reviews
'This is a crisp, insightful and absorbing overview of William Godwin's life, work and networks. A book that will make Godwin more accessible within the classroom and the wider world has been needed for some time. Richard Gough Thomas does an excellent job of providing it' -- Sophie Coulombeau, Cardiff University 'Richard Thomas has produced a warm and accessible study of Godwin. His book covers the full breadth of Godwin's work and recognises his achievements as an inventive, progressive, challenging and anti-systems philosopher' -- Ruth Kinna, Loughborough University '"William Godwin: A Political Life" is an impressive achievement. Thomas provides a highly readable, thoughtful, and informative assessment of the works and life of the founder of philosophical anarchism. A first-rate introduction to a thinker who contributed a unique perspective of continuing relevance to British moral and political thought' -- Mark Philp, University of Warwick
