An Essay On The History And Reality Of Apparitions

Description

The book was first published in 1727 anonymously, and only attributed to Defoe 22 years after his death. In it he argues that apparitions do indeed exist but not in the way that simple people of earlier times believed; and he explains why they are in the world and how people should behave regarding them. It was one of three books on the supernatural that he wrote toward the end of his life. Kincade contributes a headnote, textual notes, notes to lines, and an outline of materials and story types discussed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
