The objective of Lovett's bibliographical checklist is to list, in chronological order, as many of the English-language editions, includingThe Farther Adventures of Robinson CrusoeandSerious Reflections of Robinson Crusoe, as could be located to prepare accurate citations.
Information is provided on complete and unabridged editions as well as reworded, abridged, and/or children's editions. Each entry provides information on the title permutation, pagination, illustrations, and other information of concern. Access to the materials themselves is augmented by a complete index to publishers of the many editions and revisions ofRobinson Crusoe. Researchers and scholars of English eighteenth century literature and serious book collectors will find this volume a vital resource.
