A non-fiction work that gives a matter-of-fact account of Defoe's visits to various places, at a time when there were no ready reference works. Anyone living in Britain may find their own locality described there. It is also a valuable source-work for anyone trying to get an idea of the state of the country a few decades before the Industrial Revolution . (Normally reckoned to have begun in the 1760s, though some scholars say it had already started when Defoe was writing.) EXTERNAL LINKS |
