Sinopsis

This volume presents selections from William Godwin?s novel 'Caleb Williams,' focusing on the narrative of Sir Edward Mortimer?s revenge. It is intended as a companion piece to George Colman?s play 'The Iron Chest,' which was then being performed by Henry Irving at the Lyceum. These selections allow readers and theatergoers to delve deeper into the themes of justice, persecution, and societal corruption explored in both works. Godwin?s exploration of psychological manipulation and social injustice remains relevant, offering a stark commentary on power dynamics. Colman?s dramatic adaptation heightens the tension and emotional impact, making this dual presentation a compelling study of late 18th-century anxieties.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
