Synopsis "Thoughts on Man (Esprios Classics): His Nature, Productions and Discoveries"

William Godwin (1756 -1836) was an English journalist, political philosopher and novelist. He is considered one of the first exponents of utilitarianism and the first modern proponent of anarchism. Godwin is most famous for two books that he published within the space of a year: An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, an attack on political institutions, and Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams, an early mystery novel which attacks aristocratic privilege. Based on the success of both, Godwin featured prominently in the radical circles of London in the 1790s. He wrote prolifically in the genres of novels, history and demography throughout his life. Godwin has had considerable influence on British literature and literary culture.

William Godwin (Wisbech, March 3, 1756 - London, April 7, 1836) was a British politician and writer, considered one of the most important forerunners of anarchist thought. He is also famous for the women with whom he was linked during his life: he married feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft in 1797 and together they had a daughter, also named Mary, who has gone down in history as the author of the Gothic novel Frankenstein.
