II. DANIEL DEFOE
The chief biographies of Defoe are those by Chalmers, George (1790), which
marks the beginning of serious study of the man and his works; Wilson, W.
(3 vols. 1830), still valuable, particularly as a history of Defoe's times; Lee, W. ,
in vol. 1 of Life and Newly Discovered Writings of Daniel Defoe (1869), which
contains much new material badly handled and fixes Defoe's bibliography at
the point at which it has stood almost to the present time; Minto, W. , in
English Men of Letters (1879), still valuable for the critical acumen dis-
played; Wright, T. (1894), which contains new material, but occasionally
indulges in extravagant theories. Other biographers on a larger or a smaller
scale, such as Towers, Dr, Hazlitt, William, the younger, Forster, John,
Morley, Henry, and Whitten, W. (1900), deserve to be mentioned, as well as
Stephen, Sir Leslie, and, for a good essay, Rannie, D. W. (Oxford, 1890). Cf.
also, Lamb, Charles, Works, I, Miscellaneous Prose, ed. Lucas, E. , 1903;
Dennis, John, Studies in English Literature, 1883; York Powell, F.
Occasional Writings, ed. Elton, O. , 1906. The most important recent student
of Defoe is Aitken, George A. , in his contributions to periodicals and his
introductions to his edition of Defoe's novels. Cf. four articles, chiefly
bibliographical, contributed by the present writer to The Nation (New York,
1907-8).

No edition of Defoe's writings has yet been worthy of the name. In 1703
and 1705, he collected some of his tracts and poems, but soon his pen outran the
capacity of his contemporaries to identify his work, and there was compara-
tively little interest in him as a writer from his death to the end of the
eighteenth century. In 1810, the edition of the novels with which the name
of Scott is connected appeared in 12 vols. Thirty years later, Hazlitt,
William, the younger, began an elaborate edition which reached only three
volumes. Simultaneously, an edition in 20 vols. was printed at Oxford. This,
despite serious defects, remains the only edition giving access to some of the
more important miscellaneous books. It is, however, utterly inadequate on
the side of Defoe's political writings. There is also an edition in 6 vols. in
Bohn's British Classics (1854-5); but the novels and shorter narratives and
a few tracts may now be read in the excellent edition of the Romances and
Narratives in 16 vols. (1895-6) due to the care of Aitken, G. A. An edition but
slightly differing from this in contents was prepared for American readers in
1903 by Maynadier, G. H. (16 vols. New York).
