A Fantasy of Reason
[Godwin, William] Locke, Don. A Fantasy of The Life & Thought of William Godwin. London, Boston and Henley, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1980. 14 cm x 22 cm. XI, 398 pages. Original hardcover with original dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Includes for example the following Reason, truth and justice / Sincere friendships / A true euthanasia of Government / A case of constructive treason / The empire of feeling / Antonio, a tragedy / The immortal Godwin, I presume / The monster with the maw / The venerable horseleech / The principle of populations etc. William Godwin is a man who cries out to be the subject of a life. He has a repressed personality, ripe for psychoanalysis; a role in the high dramas of his wife Mary Wollstonecraft, his daughter Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, his son-in-law Shelley and the infant grandchildren; a circle of interesting friends, many of them articulate enough to leave written records, and famous enough to have their letters preserved. It is impossible to tell such a tale and not to be read to the end. (London Review of Books)
