In the first study of these authors as a historically specific group, Pamela Clemit argues for a greater unity between Godwin's fictional techniques and his radical political philosophy than has been perceived. Her analysis of the works of Brown and Mary Shelley, moreover, reveals how these writers modified, reshaped, and redefined Godwin's distinctive themes and techniques in response to shifting ideological pressures in the post-revolutionary period. Examining prose fiction in a period traditionally seen as dominated by poetry, Clemit stresses the necessity for a revised view of British Romanticism. Uncovering the links between Godwin's fictional analysis of subjective experience and his progressive political philosophy, \u003cem\u003eThe Godwinian Novel\u003c\/em\u003e paves the way for a reappraisal of the apparently quietistic and introspective concerns of other writers of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Clemit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198112203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198112204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.82w x 0.91d","brand":"Pamela Clemit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056642683135,"sku":"9780198112204","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_077d8aa2-328f-46e9-ab96-989a336a8454.jpg?v=1685042458","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-godwinian-novel-pamela-clemit-9780198112204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
