A new biography of the infamous early anarchist whose life and work was at the heart of British Radicalism. Thomas reads Godwin afresh, addressing the souring of his critical reputation since his death and the unsympathetic twentieth-century scholarship, now drawing extensively on newly published letters and journals.
