Political Writing
Political writing includes books, essays, and tracts focused on the debate over the French Revolution, on the social crises induced by the industrial revolution, and on the causes of men and women's rights. Positions range from the conservatism of Burke, Coleridge, Malthus, and More to the liberalism and radicalism of Godwin, Owen, Spence, Thelwall, Williams, and Wollstonecraft. Consult the critical studies under Secondary Works/ Research Areas: Politics and Society .
