This collection is comprised primarily of correspondence made within a circle of scholars of the early modern and Restoration period regarding the publication of a comprehensive, scholarly edition of works by 18th-century thinker Daniel Defoe. The primary correspondents are Maximillian E. Novak (UCLA) and Manuel Schonhorn (Southern Illinois University), who have been editors of the Stoke Newington Daniel Defoe Edition Series since the project was first started in 1968 - then under a different name as "The Collected Works of Daniel Defoe". Along with a sizable quantity of correspondence between these scholars, the collection also contains some of the supplementary documents relating to the production of the Stoke Newington Daniel Defoe Editions.
