Recensioner i media

'excellent scholarly introductions ... put the works in the context of Defoe's biography and the broader cultural and political issues of the time' Scottish Studies Review 'at last we have a modern and reliable edition [of A Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain]...this edition should also provide the raw material for a major advance in our understanding of Defoe's oeuvre in general and his more specific contribution to the geographical culture of the early eighteenth century.' Journal of Historical Geography
