Review:

'Impressive volumes in just about every respect, exhaustively annotated and carefully introduced' The Age of Johnson: A Scholarly Annual 'Essential reading...the new Pickering & Chatto edition should help redeem the critical neglect [Defoe's] work has suffered.' Tom Paulin, London Review of Books 'For those of us who have been digging around on microfilm, this is a godsend: finally a reliable and scholarly edition of the works of this prolific scribbler.' British Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies
