This comprehensive and authoritative edition of the correspondence
of Daniel Defoe situates each letter in its biographical, literary,
and historical contexts. A unique source for a turbulent period of
British history, Defoe's correspondence spans topics including the
first age of party marked by Tory and Whig rivalry, religious
tensions between the Church and Dissenters, the uncertainty of the
monarchical succession, the birth of Great Britain and its
establishment as a global empire, and the use of the press to mould
public opinion. As well as an introduction discussing Defoe's
epistolary habits and the distinctive features of his letters,
headnotes and annotations explain each document's occasion,
beginning in 1703 with Defoe hunted by the government for sedition,
and ending in 1730 with him again in hiding, fleeing creditors
months before his death. The volume is illustrated with examples of
Defoe's letters, offering a fresh window onto Defoe's manuscript
habits.
