About This Item
Edinburgh: John Anderson, 2008. New, facsimile ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, corner tips covers little creased, minor edgewear. 411 pp. A facsimile classic of the new edition originally published in 1823. A series of essays which reflect on literature, manners and education in 18th-century English society, with its rapid expansion of knowledge and technology, including the printing press. Godwin was an English novelist and radical utilitarian social reformer, who was married to feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, and father of Mary Shelley (who wrote Frankenstein). The 26 essays, in two series, cover weighty topics such as the English style, acquiring an early taste for reading, fosterising talent and genius, and how to understand and interact with servants and beggars. (A secondhand printed copy of a Kessinger facsimile print-on-demand book.).
