Contains all the major political, philosophical and educational
writings of William Godwin, one of the foremost philosophers of his
age. His work on government and individual freedom, Political
Justice, made him the chief exponent of English radicalism, and a
major influence on Thomas Holcroft, William Wordsworth, Samuel
Taylor Coleridge and others in the radical movement of the 1790s
and later. Godwin was an influential historian and educationalist.
His works include historical pamphlets, polemical journalism,
philosophical and educational treatises, novels and literary works.
Political Justice is printed in its original edition, with variants
to the manuscript and first three editions. It also includes
manuscript material never before published.
The long war with Revolutionary France had a fundamental impact on
British political culture. The most dramatic example of this is the
mass mobilisation of the British people in response to French
invasion threats throughout the last years of the century but, most
spectacularly, in the period 1803-5, after the collapse of the
Peace of Amiens, and the massing of an invasion fleet by Napoleon.
The preparations for the threatened invasion had many dimensions
including military and naval mobilization, the development of
defensive earthworks and fortifications on the British Coast, the
surveillance and monitoring of radicals identified with the French
cause, the incitement of loyalist sentiment through caricature,
newspapers, tracts and broadsides, and loyalist songs, and the
construction of Napoleon as the prime enemy of British interests.
Although aspects of these issues have been studied, this book is
the first time that they have been brought together systematically.
By bringing together historians of Britain and France to examine
the dynamics of the military conflict between the two nations in
this period, this book measures its impact on their domestic
political cultures, and its effect on their perceptions of each
other. In so doing it will encourage scholars to further examine
aspects of popular mobilisation which have hitherto been largely
ignored, such as the resurgence of loyalism in 1803, and to see
their contributions in the light of the dual contexts of domestic
political conflict and their war with each other. By allowing
scholars to focus their attention on this period of heightened
tension, the book contributes both new detail to our understanding
of the period and a better overall understanding of the complex
place which each nation came to occupy in the consciousness of the
other.
