William Godwin's Diary

Otton,

  • Name: Otton,
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date:
  • Death Date: 2  November  1828

Unidentified. No identification in the appendixes of Godwin's Political Justice. His death is noted on 2.11.1828 but there is no note of this in contemporary newspapers.

The pattern of contacts is reasonably clear. For the most part Oton calls on Godwin; on fewer occasions Godwin calls on Otton (with Wollstonecraft in August 1797). There is no consistent circle of contacts. He appears once at Johnsons. And while he is often listed with others as calling on Godwin, the diary does not allow us to conclude that he called with the others or separately from them. The first intermediary might be Holcroft, but little subsequently suggests any strong link.
