"A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain" is an account of author’s travels, first published in three volumes between 1724 and 1727. Daniel Defoe brings a lifetime's experience to the tradition of travel writing as a businessman, a soldier, an economic journalist and a spy. This book is not only a beautifully written guide to Britain just before the industrial revolution; it is his deeply imaginative response to a brave new economic world.
