Thomas Holcroft, English writer. A proponent of radical reform, and an early supporter of the French Revolution, Holcroft had a major influence on the political mind of William Godwin, who considered him one of his "four principal oral instructors." Believed to have aided in the publication of Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, Holcroft was indicted for treason and arrested in 1794, though he was subsequently acquitted and released. Much Holcroft's work exhibits reformist social criticism, including his biggest theatrical success, The Road to Ruin (Covent Garden, 1792); and his novel, The Adventures of Hugh Trevor (1794-7).
