When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for
Squire Falkland, he soon begins to suspect that his new master is
hiding a terrible secret. But as he digs deeper into Falkland's
past and finally unearths the guilty truth, the results of his
curiosity prove calamitous when even though Caleb has loyally sworn
never to disclose what he has discovered the Squire enacts a cruel
revenge. A tale of gripping suspense and psychological power,
William Godwin's novel creates a searing depiction of the
intolerable persecution meted out to a good man in pursuit of
justice and equality. Written to expose the political oppression
and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the world around him,
Caleb Williams (1794) makes a radical call to end the tyrannical
misuses of power.
