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’.

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.
