First published in 1794, William Godwin’s Caleb Williams remains one of the most electrifying novels of the late eighteenth century—a psychological thriller, a political indictment, and a masterwork of suspense. When young Caleb uncovers a terrible secret about his aristocratic employer, he is thrust into a relentless pursuit that exposes the brutal machinery of power and the fragility of justice. Annotated with an Introduction by Philip Dossick.
