 borderline fantasy only; no single element is identifiable as fantasy, but the over-all effect is nightmarish.

william godwin (1756-1836) was a philosopher, political philosopher and biographer, author inter alia of ''an enquiry into political justice'' (1793, revised 1796), q.v., which concludes that all political institutions are ultimately incompatible with serving humanity truthfully and accurately.

''st. leon: a tale of the sixteenth century'' (1799), q.v, is an interesting twist on the wandering jew legend, with further fantastical elements such as a functional philosophers' stone, and a phial of truly immortality-conferring elixir of life, not to mention the final twist in which redacted (to avoid spoilerage).

william godwin also wrote children's (and some adult) fiction published as by ''edward baldwin'', q.v.
