William Godwin, an influential English journalist and political philosopher, is recognized for his foundational contributions to utilitarianism and modern anarchism. His notable works include "An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice," which critiques political institutions, and "Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams," an early mystery novel challenging aristocratic privilege. Godwin's prolific writing across various genres and his active role in London's radical circles during the 1790s have significantly shaped British literature and culture.
