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. .

Hard Cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Some creasing to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, minor bumping to spine ends of blue boards, otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book. Looks at how the number of works attributed to Daniel Defoe has grown over the years from about 100 in the 1790s to over 500 in 1960. The authors argue that many of these are not in fact by Defoe. The title refers to the canon (the written works) of Defoe; he would never have been a candidate for Sainthood. 210pp. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 012916
