His daughter by her was Mary Godwin, who would later marry the poet Shelley, and write the novel Frankenstein. His defining politic work was Political Justice, and through it he had a profound effect on writers such as Shelley and Kropotkin. As an anarchist and libertarian, his take on the government of the Commonwealth holds a lot of interest for the student of late 18th century British political thought.
