For the first time, the sole surviving manuscripts of Political Justice and Caleb Williams, by the anarchist philosopher William Godwin (1756-1836), will be digitised and made freely available on the Shelley-Godwin Archive.
This is part of a collaborative project announced in April 2017 by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH).
A public event to celebrate the project will be held at the V&A on Monday 11 December 2017, 5.30 pm-7.30 pm. There will be three short talks by representatives of each of the collaborating institutions, followed by drinks. The original manuscripts will be on display.
