Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Anthony Comegna holds a PhD in American and Atlantic history from the University of Pittsburgh. As Assistant Editor for Intellectual History at Libertarianism.org, his research broadens and complicates prevailing interpretations of libertarian history and historical agency.

William Goodwin (1756-1836) is both one of the most important and underrated figures in libertarian thought. He has been called the first modern anarchist, the first proper utilitarian, and he was a foundational figure in both socialist and libertarian theory. Despite his significant contributions to philosophy, history, and social theory, Godwin is best remembered as husband to feminist author Mary Wollstonecraft and father to Mary Shelley.

3.0 out of 5 stars Godwin's Last Book Exposes Irrational Beliefs in the Supernatural
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2015
William Godwin was an incredible writer and his Gothic novels are among the best in the English language. That said, this is a subpar work that does read like a biography collection of magicians. What it most definitely is not is a book for people interested in the black arts. Ignore the other reviews of this book that say it is of value for that purpose. Godwin wrote a preface in which he very clearly stated that he wrote the book to show how very extreme the human imagination is that we have to make up both gods and devils and then let them terrorize and enslave us. Godwin was an atheist. He would be appalled that people would think this book would help them practice the black arts. The black arts, in his opinion, were all imaginary. That anyone thinks this book says exactly the opposite of what it does proves Godwin's point that the human imagination is capable of distorting the truth to extremes.

Please be aware this book is in the public domain; it's available in PDF and ebook format free from a variety of sources. The only reason I paid for a copy was because I wanted a hardcopy and I figured paying for a quick POD copy was cheaper than printing and binding my own, but this is a very half-assed compilation. Most glaringly, there are no page numbers and the table of contents is not numbered. There is a perfunctory index but not enough to do you any good... because there are no page numbers. Fail to whomever put this together to make a quick buck, and fail to me for not inspecting it more closely.

William Godwin is far less well known to most readers than his daughter Mary, who married Percy Bysshe Shelley and eventually came to write "Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus". Godwin, however, was no lightweight, and was famous in his time for his anarchist views, and his theory of the perfectability of mankind, without the intervention of religion. Godwin takes the reader on a historical tour of the lives, supposed exploits, and often tragic ends of those accused of, or claiming, any magical ability. The scope of this work is broad; ranging from the likes of the Magi to the poor accused witches in Salem.
