In England, at the end of the eighteenth century, the poor were considered as an anxiety-inducing mass which menaced public security. This is not the case for Godwin : the poor are not responsible for their destitution, but are victims of it. The sympathy he displays for them, rare at the time, sheds light on this conception.
