A Review of the Affairs of France. Volume 1: 1704-1705. Part One: February-September 1704; Part Two: October 1704-February 1705. TWO VOLUMES

One of Daniel Defoe's greatest achievements was the writing and publication of his Review. Covering his many interests, both contemporary and historical, Defoe published his journal twice and latterly three times a week. The print run was thought to be just 400 therefore making surviving runs very rare. Also the condition of the originals is mainly poor making a facsimile version difficult. This edition has been completely reset and annotated. Publishing two volumes to cover one year's output, the whole of Defoe's text is to be reproduced in 18 volumes. Each year will have an introduction, textual notes and new index. The final volume in the series will have a consolidated index. Defoe's Review played a significant role in the birth of the modern press. It was not a newspaper dealing in facts but a journal of opinion and discussion. This series is the first complete scholarly edition of the entire run of Defoe's Review. It is fully reset and supported by full editorial apparatus. v. 1.
