Trade Review
"Louise McCray's new study offers a fresh and compelling perspective on one of the central figures of British Romanticism. Godwin and the Book achieves a remarkably successful synthesis of the philosophical, political, literary, and religious concerns that animated Godwin's long and eclectic career. Students and scholars in wide range of disciplines will be stimulated and challenged by its arguments." -Philip Connell, University of Cambridge
