Daniel Defoe in Context

Innovative in its structure and approach, Daniel Defoe in Context contains 42 essays by leading scholars illuminating the life, times, and world of Daniel Defoe. Defoe is one of the most important literary figures in English history, thanks not only to his pioneering novels Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, but also to his notable works in journalism, travel writing, conduct literature, and verse, both satiric and serious. Written with general readers and students in mind, the essays in this volume provide up-to-date knowledge about eighteenth-century literature, culture, and history in a high quality, clearly written, but completely accessible form. Together they demonstrate the ways not only in which Defoe's world shaped his writing, but also in which Defoe's writings profoundly affected his world, and therefore our world.

“Fear the living, fear the dead, fear the Unspeakable.” Kenning Hall was more than a country home, it was the family's sanctuary away from the frenetic pace of London, until that day. What happened that day was so horrifying, so devastating, that the place was left to ruin, until now. A decade later, thirty-two-year-old Rupert Harrison, the only surviving heir to the Harrison publishing dynasty, has ordered Kenning Hall restored to its former glory. It's time to go back. Now, if you think you've heard this story before, think again. This is just the beginning. Something is waiting at Kenning Hall. Something vengeful, malevolent, and it will follow him home. THIS BOOK ISN'T CREEPY, IT'S DOWNRIGHT TERRIFYING. BE WARNED: DAYLIGHT WILL NOT SAVE YOU. PRAISE FOR UNSPEAKABLE (FROM READERS LIKE YOU) “The bit that gets you is that a lot of it happens during broad daylight!" “Gripping! It's packed with secrets and a brilliantly twisting plot!" “Sexy and disturbing” “Be afraid. Be very afraid. I know I was!” “Grabs you from that breathtaking prologue and doesn't leg go...”
