These anthologies include Defoe’s work as part of larger collections organized by theme or literary history. Classic Sea Stories pairs his maritime writing with other ocean-going fiction, while Writers: Their Lives and Works profiles him alongside hundreds of other notable authors.
For readers already familiar with Robinson Crusoe, these anthologies offer useful context by placing Defoe next to the writers who came before and after him.
