"David O'Shaughnessy's comprehensive edition of these four dramas ("St Dunstan", "Antonio", "Abbas, King of Persia" and "Faulkener") makes gripping reading for all those who are interested in William Godwin's writing. Perhaps it will lead to a new production of Godwin's final play, "Faulkner", for audiences today. [Reviewed by Jennifer Breen in "TLS" February 18, 2011]
