The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

"The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe revitalizes a classic text published three centuries ago. The scholarship displayed here--more than a decade in the making--provides full, expert annotation and an exhaustive textual collation. This is clearly the definitive edition, one that specialists and libraries alike will want to acquire."

~Anthony W. Lee, editor of Community and Solitude: New Essays on Johnson's Circle

"Edited by a trio of distinguished Defoe scholars, the Stoke Newington edition of The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is a welcome addition to the field. With its learned and wide-ranging introduction, its dense contextual and interpretive annotations, and its extensive bibliographical and textual apparatus, the volume will serve as the basis for scholarship and criticism for decades to come."

~Benjamin Pauley, Eastern Connecticut State University

" This book does all that you could ask of a thoroughly scholarly work, but won’t deter any enquirer; its introduction is thorough, judicious and wise, its bibliographical apparatus refrains from crowding the story and authentic illustrations are expertly annotated. Crisp footnotes, on the right page, are thorough, responsible and concise."

~Times Literary Supplement

"Bucknell Press is to be commended for reviving this excellent project....A fine edition that scholars will want to acquire."
