When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for Squire
Falkland, he soon begins to suspect that his new master is hiding a
terrible secret. But as he digs deeper into Falkland's past and finally
unearths the guilty truth, the results of his curiosity prove calamitous
when - even though Caleb has loyally sworn never to disclose what he
has discovered - the Squire enacts a cruel revenge. A tale of gripping
suspense and psychological power, William Godwin's novel creates a
searing depiction of the intolerable persecution meted out to a good man
in pursuit of justice and equality.
Written to expose the
political oppression and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the world
around him, Caleb Williams (1794) makes a radical call to end the
tyrannical misuses of power.
