D
aniel Defoe is known as the father of the
English novel. Virginia Woolf described Moll
Flanders and Roxana as ‘among the few novels …
one can call indisputably great’. Robinson Crusoe
is one of the most enduring characters in English
literature. Daniel Defoe wrote ten novels including
two lesser known sequels to Robinson Crusoe. This
is the first authoritative scholarly edition of all his
novels. Carefully selected copy texts are supported
by extensive new editorial material explaining
the novels’ publishing history and details of later
parodies, sequels and adaptations.
Novels of Daniel Defoe will be invaluable to scholars
researching Eighteenth-Century Literature and
History and the History of the Novel.

Defoe’s novels
• Brings together all three parts of Robinson Crusoe
and examines their relationship

introduction to each novel, full explanatory
endnotes, textual notes, and a consolidated index
