The Pilgrim's Progress
The Pilgrim's Progress is one of the best-loved and most widely read books in English literature. It is an acknowledged classic of the heroic Puritan tradition and a founding text in the development of the English novel. Its vivid telling, psychological realism and the simplicity of the prose makes the story of Christian and his journey through the Slough of Despond to the Celestial City of universal appeal. Includes original illustrations.
Satire, Fantasy, and Writings on the Supernatural: The true-born Englishman and other poems
"A selection of satires, fantasies, and supernatural writings in poetry and prose by Daniel Defoe. Fully reset with scholarly annotations of interest to students of eighteenth-century politics, religion, and literature"--Provided by publisher.
Defoe's America
The Americas appear as an evocative setting in more than half of Daniel Defoe's novels, and often offer a new beginning for his characters. In the first full-length study of Defoe and colonialism, Dennis Todd explores why the New World loomed so large in Defoe's imagination. By focusing on the historical contexts that informed Defoe's depiction of American Indians, African slaves, and white indentured servants, Dennis Todd investigates the colonial assumptions that shaped his novels and, at the same time, uncovers how Defoe used details of the American experience in complex, often figurative ways to explore the psychological bases of the profound conversions and transformations that his heroes and heroines undergo. And by examining what Defoe knew and did not know about America, what he falsely believed and what he knowingly falsified, Defoe's America probes the doubts, hesitancies, and contradictions he had about the colonial project he so fervently promoted.
