By William Godwin
1824 - London - Henry Colburn

DETAILS
Volumes one and four of the radical intellectual\'s history of the Commonwealth.
Godwin was one of the first proponents of Utilitarianism, as well as of Anarchism, andwas married to the feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft. His daughter by her was Mary Godwin, who would later marry the poet Shelley, and write the novel Frankenstein.
His defining politic work was Political Justice, and through it he had a profound effect on writers such as Shelley and Kropotkin.
