"This classic story of a shipwrecked mariner on a deserted island is perhaps the greatest adventure in all of English literature. Fleeing from pirates, Robinson Crusoe is swept ashore in a storm possessing only a knife, a box of tobacco, a pipe-and the will to survive.

"This book offers a fascinating picture of eighteenth-century society. Tough, splenetic, and widely experienced, of all the great novelists of his time Tobias Smollett is the one who registered best the bawdy, brutal side of the eighteenth-century life. Towards the end of his life, however, he grew mellower, and "Humphrey Clinker" (1771) is a tale of high good humour. Squire Bramble's picaresque tour of the Britain of George III has enou ..."

"Dr John Arbuthnot (1667-1735) influenced the social, literary, political, medical and scientific communities of eighteenth-century Britain. He is often presented as a man of almost supernatural goodness, but it is worth remembering that he was born into, and lived his early years, in the ferocious religious and political struggles of late-seventeenth-century Scotland, that culminated in 1707 in the Union of the Scottish and English parl ..."
