Paradoxically, Daniel Defoe is diminished by his popularity as the
author of a handful of important novels, since the remainder of his
voluminous writings suffer undue neglect. Fully to understand him
he should be taken whole but his authorship of over 500
publications renders this feat well nigh impossible. The purpose of
this selection, then, is to enable the reader to make or renew the
acquaintance of Defoe on some of his favourite topics such as trade
and politics, manners and morality, in poetry as well as prose, and
in works like A True Relation of the Apparition of One Mrs Veal and
Memoirs of a Cavalier, which are characteristic blends of fact and
fiction. Equipped with the insights possible from this sample, the
reader - it is hoped - will return to the major novels with a
keener appreciation of their distinctive quality and a livelier
sense of their author.
