William Godwin, 1756-1836 The annals of the French Revolution prove that the knowledge of the few cannot counteract the ignorance of the many . . . the light of philosophy, when it is confined to a small minority, points out the possessors as the victims rather than the illuminators of the multitude. -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Essays on His Own Times The father of philosophical anarchism, William Godwin, was born March 3, 1756 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and was the seventh of thirteen children of John Godwin and Anna Hull. Physically weak, introverted and intellectually precocious, Godwin held to strict Sandemanian Calvinism almost until the end of his formal education in 1778 at the Dissenting school, Hoxton Academy. John Godwin was a minister of the Sandeman variety and it was expected that young William would follow him into the ministry. Godwin later described Sandeman as a "celebrated north country apostle, who, after Calvin had damned ninety-nine in a hundred of mankind, had contrived a scheme for damning ninety-nine in a hundred of the followers of Calvin." Such an austere religiosity so early in life goes a long way to explain why Godwin would eventually become the prophet of philosophical anarchism.

An Uneasy Affair: William Godwin and English Radicalism, 1793-1797 Introduction Studies on William Godwin (1756-1836) in the twentieth century have more than adequately explored his philosophical scheme for a "well-conceived" or "simple form of society without government." These studies have concentrated upon an examination of his most celebrated political treatise, the Enquiry Concerning Political Justice His thoughts on virtue, education, the abolition of the marriage contract, rejection of all natural rights theories, criticism of government and political associations of any kind, faith in human perfectibility, and his rigorous rejection of and hostility towards coercion and authority have been acutely analyzed by the modern historian. But a peculiar problem still exists. Godwin has, in general, suffered at the hands of the modern historian and has undergone a fate in history not unlike that which befell him during his own stormy career. While some biographers (primarily literary historians), have attempted to honor Godwin as a precursor to the romantic movement, most have concentrated upon anecdotal history. We are unfortunately presented with an incomplete portrait of Godwin by those biographers who insist upon treating him merely as a member of a literary movement of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. On the whole, literary historians have failed to establish the relationship of Godwin's thought to English radicalism in the 1790s.

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.

William Godwin The Apostle of "Universal Benevolence." The English Romantic Movement started just about when the 18th century ended. The movement with its "high thought and warm feelings," a reaction to the "vices and follies of the world," continued throughout the first quarter of the 19th century. During this period there came to the forefront certain literary and political agitators, who brought about, beginning with the great Reform Bill of 1832, the law reforms that were to take place as the balance of the 19th century unfolded in England. We may mark the year 1793 as the beginning point of the English Romantic Movement; it was the year that William Godwin brought out his work, Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Political Justice William Godwin, born on March 3rd, 1756, at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, came from a line of dissenting ministers. He was the seventh of thirteen children in the family; they were brought up in the Calvinistic faith, an upbringing which undoubtedly had a significant impact on Godwin. At the age of seventeen, William was sent to a theological academy at Hoxton, near London. After his graduation, he was to take a position as a minister at Stowmarket in Sulfolk. Within the year he was to leave Sulfolk and give up the ministry permanently. Godwin then carried himself to London, there to earn a precarious living by his pen.

William Godwin, 1756-1836. Anarchistic/Utopian political and social philosopher - husband of early feminist author Mary Wollestonecraft and father of Mary Shelley (writer of "Frankenstein" and wife of romantic poet Percy Byssche Shelley). A profound optimist concerning human nature, he nonetheless recognized the exploitative nature of capitalism and proposed a utopian restructuring of society whereby those who earn more than their basic needs would distribute the surplus to the needy. In his famous 1793 plea for anarchy, Godwin posited that the pursuit of happiness is the only object of personal and social ethics. In an early utilitarian leap, Godwin actually went on to argue that "Justice" requires the maximization of aggregate pleasure. His optimistic prognostics on the ultimate "perfectibility" of mankind led Malthus to respond with his dismal essay on population.
