Romanticism, Publishing and Dissent Joseph Johnson and the Cause of Liberty

Joseph Johnson (1738-1809) was arguably the foremost bookseller of the late 18th century in England, publishing Joseph Priestley, William Cowper, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Mary Wollstonecroft, Wordsworth and Coleridge, among others, and his output closely linked to the turbulent events of his age. This book seeks to reassess the reputation of a man unfairly condemned in his own time as a dangerously 'radical' publisher and how far the works he published tended to promote the case for religious and political reform.Brathwaite, Helen is the author of 'Romanticism, Publishing and Dissent Joseph Johnson and the Cause of Liberty' with ISBN 9780333983942 and ISBN 0333983947.
