A Critical Bibliography of Daniel Defoe

A Critical Bibliography of Daniel Defoe has been designed by the authors as an answer to some of the special problems in establishing a canon of Defoe’s works. Each entry in Furbank and Owens’s Critical Bibliography includes a description or synopsis of the content of the work, together with a discussion of the evidence of Defoe’s authorship. There is also a series of appendices which give unprecedented access to the information required to make sense of Defoe’s large and complicated oeuvre.

This important bibliography will appeal to academics studying eighteenth-century literature and the history of the book.

Reviews

'the work that scholars have long awaited ... [Furbank and Owens] have surely given us a new foundation for any discussion of the canon (and therefore of Defoe's life too). Now we can start arguing.'
- John Mullan, The Times Literary Supplement
