William Godwin was one of the most popular novelists of the
Romantic era; P.B. Shelley praised him, Byron drew heavily on his
narrative style, and Mary Shelley, Godwin's daughter, dedicated
Frankenstein to him.Caleb Williams is the riveting account of a
young man whose curiosity leads him to pry into a murder from the
past. The first novel of crime and detection in English literature,
Caleb Williams is also a powerful expose of the evils and
inequities of the political and social system in 1790s Britain.In
addition to the text itself, the editors have included an extensive
selection of primary source materials from the period, ranging from
Godwin's original manuscript ending and excerpts from his political
writings to contemporary reviews, the political writings of Burke
and Paine, and materials on criminals and the English prison
system.
