Original full calf, raised bands, gilt-ruled covers, spines showing "1" or "2" only; joint and hinges reattached with kozo. Very good. ". . . Defoe obviously needed income to maintain his mode of living, and that probably accounts for the appearance in 1715 of what would prove to be, next to Robinson Crusoe, [Defoe's] most popular work during the eighteenth century, The Family Instructor in Three Parts; I. Relating to Fathers and Children. II. To Masters and Servants. III. To Husbands and Wives, the first of a number of conduct books in narrative format that he produced.19 Domestic conduct books like this were perennial best sellers, and Defoe's was very successful, reaching 20 British editions in the course of the eighteenth century. Paula Backscheider suggests that he may have been drawn to this conduct manual by his own family situation, spending as he must have long periods away from home and perhaps facing domestic problems as a result. ". . . The Family Instructor moves on from its opening dramatization of tensions in the family group to tell stories about rebellious servants and unruly apprentices. In a strong if implicit sense, the secular world is dramatized as dangerously dominant, for the piety to which most of the characters are converted is understood to be gained only by strenuous and difficult resistance against the competing attractions of worldly pleasures. Defoe makes the secular alternative strongly attractive in his dramatic rendering of it and thereby heightens the moral and spiritual heroism of his characters, and it was doubtless such drama that accounted for the popularity of these books." [John Richetti, The Life of Daniel Defoe: A Critical Biography.] First published 1715, 1718. Advertisement on verso of title page. ESTC: N9682.
