Featured New Book- The Novels of Daniel Defoe

The scholarly edition of an author's work is bread and butter for literary scholars.  KSL is proud to announce the acquisition of the ten-volume set The Novels of Daniel Defoe, published by Pickering & Chatto.  It is the first modern complete scholarly edition of Defoe's novels.

This edition, edited by W. R. Owens and P. N. Furbank, includes works like The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders, A Journal of the Plague Year, and of course The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.  The set was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice magazine in 2008.
