William Godwin on Education William Godwin Nothing can be more pitiable... There is but one considerable objection that seems to oppose all these advantages [to a libertarian education]. The preceptor is terrified at the outset, and says, How shall I render the labors of literature an object of desire , and still more how shall I maintain this desire in all its vigour, in spite of the discouragements that will daily occur, and in spite of the quality incident to almost every human passion, that its fervour disappears in proportion as the novelty of the object subsides? But let us not hastily admit this for an insuperable objection. If the plan here proposed augments the difficulties of the teacher in one particular point, let it be remembered that it relieves him from an insufferable burthen in other repects. Nothing can be more pitable than the condition of the instructor in the present modes of education. He is the worst of slaves. He is consigned to the severest of imprisonments... Like the unfortunate wretch upon whom the lot has fallen in a city reduced to extremities, he is destroyed, that others may live... He is regarded as a tyrant by those under his jurisdiction, and he is a tyrant.

23. William Godwin And Informal Education An article exploring this thinker's contribution to the theory of education, paying particular attention to informal education and lifelong learning. By Mark K. Smith. http://www.infed.org/thinkers/et-good.htm

encyclopaedia archives search william godwin and informal education 'Refer them to reading, to conversation, to meditation; but teach them neither creeds nor catechisms, either moral or political.' William Godwin Mary Wollstonecraft (who wrote the feminist classic: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman -1792), the father of Mary Shelley (the author of Frankenstein - 1818) and the father-in-law of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (who was influenced by his radical libertarianism). 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).

24. William Hazlitt's Essay From The Spirit Of The Age, "On William Godwin" (1825). A 1825 essay in The Spirit of the Age, by william Hazlitt. http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Essays/Hazlitt/SpiritAge/Godwin.htm

From William Hazlitt's The Spirit of the Age TOC "William Godwin" Mr. Godwin's person is not known, he is not pointed out in the street, his conversation is not courted his opinions are not asked, he is at the head of no cabal, he belongs to no party in the State, he has no train of admirers, no one thinks it worth his while even to traduce and vilify him, he has scarcely friend or foe the world make a point (as Goldsmith used to say) of taking no more notice of him than if such an individual had never existed; he is to all ordinary intents and purposes dead and buried. But the author of Political Justice and of Caleb Wiliams can never die; his name is an abstraction in letters; his works are standard in the history of intellect. He is thought of now like any eminent writer of a hundred-and-fifty years ago, or just as he will be a hundred-and-fifty years hence. He knows this, and smiles in silent mockery of himself, reposing on the monument of his fame 'Sedet, aeternumque sedebit Infelix Theseus.' No work in our time gave such a blow to the philosophical mind of the country as the celebrated Enquiry concerning Political Justice Tom Paine was considered for the time as a Tom Fool to him, Paley an old woman

WILLIAM GODWIN, (1756-1836) English philosopher, anarchist. The first mordern anarchist writer, friend of William Blake Works include: Enquiry Concerning Political Justice Caleb Williams — Vancouver Sun 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.

Few works of literature are held to be of more general use, than those which treat in a methodical and elementary way of the principles of science. But the human mind in every enlightened age is progressive; and the best elementary treatises, after a certain time, are reduced in value by the operation of subsequent discoveries. Hence it has always been desired by the intelligent, that new works of this kind should from time to time be brought forward, including the improvements, which had not yet been realised when former compilations upon the subject were produced. It would be strange if something of this kind were not requisite in the science of politics, after the concussion that the minds of men have suffered upon this subject, and the materials that have been furnished, by the recent experiments of America and France. A sense of the value of such a work, if properly executed, was the motive which gave birth to these volumes.

WILLIAM GODWIN GODWIN, WILLIAM - (1756-1836), English political and miscellaneous writer, son of a Nonconformist minister, was born on the 3rd of March 1756, at Wisbeach in Cambridgeshire. His family came on both sides of middle-class people, and it was probably only as a joke that Godwin, a stern political reformer and philosophical radical, attempted to trace his pedigree to a time before the Norman conquest and the great earl ,Godwine. Both parents were strict Calvinists. The father died young, and never inspired love or much regret in his son; but in spite of ,wide differences of opinion, tender affection always subsisted between William Godwin and his mother, until her death at an advanced age. His first published work was an anonymous Life of Lord Chatham (1783). ,Under the inappropriate title Sketches of History (1784) he published under his own name six sermons on the characters of Aaron, Hazael and Jesus, in which, though writing in the character of an orthodox Calvinist, he enunciates the proposition God Himself has no right to be a tyrant. Introduced by Andrew Kippis, he began to write in 1785 for the Annual Register aiid other periodicals, producing also three novels now forgotten. The Sketches of English History written for the Annual Register from 1785 onward still deserve study. He joined a club called the Revolutionists, and associated much with Lord Stanhope, Home Tooke and Holcroft. His clerical character was now completely dropped. In May 1794 Godwin published the novel of Caleb Williams, or Things as they are, a book of which the political object is overlooked by many readers in the strong interest of the story. The book was dramatized by the younger Colman as The Iron Chest. It is one of the few novels of that time which may be said still to live.i A theorist who lived mainly in his study, Godwin yet came forward boldly to stand by prisoners arraigned of high treason in that same year1794. The danger to persons so charged was then great, and he deliberately put himself into this same danger for his friends. But when his own trial was discussed in the privy council, Pitt sensibly held that Political Justice, the work on which the charge could best have been founded, was priced at three guineas, and could never do much harm among those who had not three shillings to spare.

Godwin, William philosopher, writer england 3 Mar 1756, Wisbech, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire - 7 Apr 1836, London 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.

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 (1773–8) 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 Wollstonecraft’s first daughter, Fanny, as his own. In December 1801 he was married for a second time, to a widow, Mrs Clairmont. Godwin’s early works are wide-ranging in subject matter and include a collection of sermons

WILLIAM GODWIN, "OF HISTORY AND ROMANCE" Note: Godwin wrote this piece, according to a note in the manuscript, "while the Enquirer [1797] was in the press, under the impression that the favour of the public might have demanded another volume." The study of history may well be ranked among those pursuits which are most worthy to be chosen by a rational being. The study of history divides itself into two principal branches; the study of mankind in a mass, of the progress the fluctuations, the interests and the vices of society; and the study of the individual. The history of a nation might be written in the first of these senses, entirely in terms of abstraction, and without descending so much as to name one of those individuals to which the nation is composed. It is curious, and it is important, to trace the progress of mankind from the savage to the civilised state; to observe the points of similitude between the savages of America and the savages of ancient Italy or Greece; to investigate the rise of property moveable to immoveable; and thus to ascertain the causes that operate universally upon masses of men under given circumstances, without being turned aside in their operation by the varying character of individuals. The fundamental article in this branch of historical investigation, is the progress and varieties of civilisation. But there are many subordinate channels into which it has formed itself. We may study the history of eloquence or the history of philosophy. We may apply ourselves to the consideration and the arts of life, and the arts of refinement and pleasure. There lie before us the history of wealth and the history of commerce. We may study the progress of revenue and the arts of taxation. We may follow the varieties of climates, and trace their effects on the human body and the human mind. Nay, we may descend still lower; we may have our attention engrossed by the succession of
