William Godwin's great treatise on liberalism, Political Justice, brought the ideas of the French Revolution to Britain. Mary Wollstonecraft's \u003ci\u003eVindication of the Rights of Woman \u003c\/i\u003emarks the beginning of the modern women's movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost lives follow a pattern of rise and fall. For William Godwin, writes William St Clair, there was not one peak but two. Just when Godwin's achievements seemed forgotten, the young Shelley burst into his life, claimed to be the heir to his ideas, ran off with his daughter Mary--author of Frankenstein--and tied the whole Godwin family inextricably to his own frantic career. Based on a thorough exploration of the vast family archives, \u003ci\u003eThe Godwins and the Shelleys\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light not only on an exceptional family but also on the history and literature of the revolutionary and romantic age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William St Clair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.18w x 1.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801842337\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40136287748211,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b67c09a4-57ff-4037-aa3a-313a91fbd207.jpg?v=1654262628","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-godwins-and-the-shelleys-a-biography-of-a-family-9780801842337","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
