Notes

A Jacobin novel according to Kelly in The English Jacobin Novel. Announced and reviewed in La Décade philosophique, year IV/2, n. 67, p. 413-420. The editor offers a very interesting political reading of the Godwin's novel as a new attack on the aristocracy and its chivalry (Avertissement de l'éditeur p.XIII-XVI).
