Daniel Defoe was one of the most important and best-known writers
of the eighteenth century but there is a feeling among scholars
that the Defoe 'canon' is a remarkably strange and not very
satisfactory construction. Between 1790, when the first
bibliography of Defoe appeared, and 1971, when J.R. Moore published
the second edition of his Checklist, the canon had swollen from
just over a hundred items to 570. A large proportion of these
attributions had been made in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, on the basis of features of style, 'favourite phrases'
and resemblance to Defoe's known views. This book is a list of all
the items in Moore's Checklist (the current authority on the Defoe
canon) that at present the authors consider questionable with in
each case a note as to who was the first attributer, a brief
synopsis and an explanation of the reasons for doubting the
ascription.
