William Godwin And Informal Education

Life Having turned away from the ministry Godwin earned a living through writing and teaching. The former included short novels, biographies and newspaper pieces. In response to the fierce debate and argument around the French Revolution (from 1789 on), Godwin wanted to set out a properly philosophical and principled statement of political theory. The result was An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice which appeared in 1793. It brought him momentary fame and some wealth (a thousand guineas). He followed it up in 1794 with a novel The Adventures of Caleb Williams . Peter Marshall describes it as ‘a gripping story of flight and pursuit designed to show how "the spirit and character of the government intrudes itself into every rank of society"’. The book was hailed as a masterpiece. ‘It is not only a work of brilliant social observation, but may be considered the first thriller and the first psychological novel which anticipates the anxieties of modern existentialism’ (1993: 196).

Extractions: Enquiry Concerning Political Justice The turning point in his career was the French Revolution, which spurred him to write his major work, Political Justice , completed in 1793. Though many were disillusioned after the early years of the Revolution, Godwin's liberalism remained intact. The publication of this work gained him a far-reaching contemporary fame. Although Godwin wrote indefatigably, only Political Justice is still a work of enduring fame. His Caleb Williams , a novel with a social purpose, is another of his works retaining some contemporary interest.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~androom/biography/p001085.htm

Extractions: Grave location: Bournemouth, Dorset: St. Peter's Churchyard Son of John Godwin, the Minister of Wisbech Independent Chapel. In 1773 William went to the dissenting college at Hoxton where he studied until 1778. Then he became Minister in Ware, Hertfordshire, but in 1779 he left for London and in 1780 for suffolk. He became a deist and in 1782 a socianianist (originally a doctrine held by an Antitrinitarian sect that had sprung from the Reformation). In 1783 he was Minister at Beaconsfield for half a year and in the same year he published his Life of Chatham. In 1783 he settled in London to become a writer. He wrote reviews for English Review and wrote letters for the Political Herald. In 1786 he met the playwright Thomas Holcroft, who became a close friend. Godwin turned into a convinced atheist and during the time of the French Revolution in 1789 he already held very radical views. Godwin started a diary in 1788 and would continue this for the rest of his life. On 13 Apr 1791 he first met Mary Wollstonecraft during a diner at which Thomas Paine was also present. On 14 Feb 1793 his famous "An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice" was published and on 26 May 1794 his novel "Things as They Are, or The Adventures of Caleb Williams". Also in 1794 he first met Coleridge and the year after Wordsworth. "Political Justice" had made him famous in radical as well as literary circles. In 1796 he and Mary Wollstonecraft met again and soon afterwards Mary broke all conventions by visiting him alone. In his diary he kept the score: they became lovers on 21 Aug 1796. Mary, who already had a daughter by the American Gilbert Imlay, became pregnant and he married her on 29 Mar 1793. Sadly, she died after giving birth to a daughter (Mary Shelley). In 1798 he published "Memoirs of the Author of the Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1798), but he was attacked fiercely because he had written objectively about Mary's unconventional sexual habits. The political climate soon left little room for radicals and Godwin had to concentrate on literature and history instead of radical views to make a living.

William Godwin
A concise look at the life and ideas of this radical thinker.
http://www.thoemmes.com/encyclopedia/godwin.htm

Extractions: William Godwin William Godwin was born on 3 March 1756 at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. He died on 7 April 1836 in London and was buried in the Old St Pancras churchyard. Educated for the dissenting ministry at the Hoxton Academy (17738) under Andrew Kippis and Abraham Rees, Godwin served as a minister only briefly, between 1778 and 1782, at Ware in Hertfordshire and then at Stowmarket, Suffolk, before becoming a full-time writer in London. There he became part of a group of liberals and nonconformists which included William Blake and Thomas Paine. Through this group he met Mary Wollstonecraft. When she became pregnant by him, Godwin overcame his objections to the state of matrimony and the two were married on 29 March 1797. Their daughter, Mary, author of Frankenstein and wife of the poet Shelley, was born on 30 August. Her mother died less than two weeks later and Godwin also raised Wollstonecrafts first daughter, Fanny, as his own. In December 1801 he was married for a second time, to a widow, Mrs Clairmont. Godwins early works are wide-ranging in subject matter and include a collection of sermons
