{"product_id":"the-cambridge-edition-of-the-daniel-defoe-9781107133099","title":"The Cambridge Edition of the Correspondence of Daniel Defoe","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Defoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107133092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107133099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 2.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"Daniel Defoe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132541858047,"sku":"9781107133099","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f64977c-2e63-4b39-b07c-943b89aba7f4.jpg?v=1687480821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cambridge-edition-of-the-daniel-defoe-9781107133099","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
