Routledge The Novels of Daniel Defoe, Part I (The Pickering Masters)

Product Description Daniel Defoe is known as the father of the English novel. This is the modern critical edition of Defoe's novels. It brings together all three parts of "Robinson Crusoe" and examines their relationship. The editorial material includes an introduction to each novel, explanatory endnotes, textual notes, and a consolidated index in volume 10. Review 'This edition of Defoe's works is now the standard, and libraries should own at least this set of novels if not the entire series. Highly recommended.' CHOICE 'Published on schedule in only eight years in a handsome and eminently readable format, the Works of Daniel Defoe will both advance Defoe studies and enlarge our understanding of the period. They are a fine tribute to the scholarly acumen and determination of the General Editors, W R Owens and P N Furbank...We are all very much in their debt.' The Scriblerian
