This essay investigates the complex history and meanings of Lloyd's other, entirely neglected novel, Isabel, A Tale. Using unpublished correspondence the essay establishes that, although published in 1820, Isabel was printed in 1810, and written in 1798–99. Two manuscripts of the novel have been located. These are for the first time analysed to shed light on Lloyd's intentions. Intriguingly, the manuscripts give the novel the sub-title 'Godwin versus Godwin', as well as positioning it as a response to Mary Wollstonecraft. These clues, with an unpublished preface, support a reading of Isabel as an attempt to use Wollstonecraft's work, and her life as written by William Godwin, to develop a modus vivendi allowing radical social critique to co-exist with a defence of chastity and marriage. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Romanticism is the property of Edinburgh University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
