From the Dust Jacket: "The 'canon' of writing attributed to the great eighteenth-century author Daniel Defoe has grown spectacularly over the years. From about 100 items in the first bibliographical listing in 1790, Defoe is credited, in the current CHECKLIST prepared by the bibliographer John Robert Moore, with no fewer than 570 works. This book investigates the phenomenon and poses the question: can these works all be by Defoe?". First Edition. Hard Cover. Publisher's blue cloth/Jacket not priced or clipped. 8vo. ix, 210pp. .
