This gothic novel, a study of madness, took Godwin over eight years to write. "Written like all his novels in the first person the book attempts to show how obsession leads to madness. Godwin sought to trace the breakdown of personality from within ... Godwin's novel [Mandeville] is an openly avowed exploration of the subconscious mind which gradually overrides and destroys conscious rationality ... Mandeville ... is an essay in one of the great themes of romanticism ... Passions, he declares, laugh at philosophy" [St. Clair].Colonel William Henry Moore-Hodder (1791- ) of Hoddersfield, County Cork was apparently related to the Veseys through the La Touche family.
