About this book

Number 198 of the Augustan Reprint Society brings back Daniel Defoe's 1711 political allegory, with an introduction by John J. Perry dated 1979. Perry reads the piece as a disguised account of the 1710 election of Scottish representative peers and explains the background: the Tory landslide in the General Election, the fall of Godolphin's Whig ministry, the quarrel between Queen Anne and the Duchess of Marlborough, and the impeachment of Dr. Henry Sacheverell.

About the author

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
