A propos de cet article

First editions of these major biographical sources for the deaf and mute soothsayer who became a cause célèbre in early Georgian London. Duncan Campbell (c. 1680-1730) established himself in London by reading a wealthy young widow's fortune in his own favour. He soon showed a similar capacity to ingratiate himself among the elites of early Georgian London, the History even winning him a presentation at court. Defoe and Campbell share an instinct for showmanship, but beyond that the Defoeian attribution of the History is hard to support - not least because the publisher was a known enemy of his. Defoe's frequently clandestine approach to publication has resulted in an ever-changing canon, and a tendency to conflate his style with early 18th-century literature more generally. The Secret Memoirs was published a year after his death in 1731. ESTC T69700, T72257; Moore 432; Trent p. 21-2. P. N. Furbank & W. R. Owens, Defoe De-Attributions, 1994, pp. 126. 2 works, octavo (186 x 116 mm), pp. xx, [4], 320; pp. [vi], 239, [1]. Engraved portrait frontispieces and 3 other engraved plates, wood-engraved head- and tailpieces and initials. Late 19th-century crushed red morocco, spines ruled and decorated in gilt and with twin dark green morocco labels, covers panelled and with cornerpieces in gilt, turn-ins in gilt, marbled endpapers, edges marbled and gilt. Light sunning to spines, minor browning and foxing to contents: a very good set. …
