William Godwin, hijo y nieto de estrictos ministros calvinistas, abandonó finalmente su camino ministerial y sus creencias religiosas tras una extensa lectura. Emergió como un pensador crucial de la Ilustración, defendiendo el anarquismo y una moralidad independiente de la religión, una postura que inicialmente causó un considerable escándalo. Godwin introdujo magistralmente sus ideas radicales tanto a través de tratados filosóficos como de obras de ficción pioneras, destacando una historia de aventuras y detectives que marcó un hito y llegó a un amplio público. Su intelecto y sus audaces puntos de vista lo situaron entre los autores más influyentes de su época, dejando un legado duradero que se extendió hasta su propia hija, Mary Shelley.
