Publisher's Synopsis
The Consolidator is a remarkable hybrid of fantasy mixed with contemporary social and political satire. Unique in Defoe's canon for its settings (including, among other places, China and the moon), its material derives from the more familiar Defoean context of urban life in early eighteenth-century England. The name of the work was inspired by a political crisis in November 1704, one which nearly ousted from power the moderate Tory government of Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford (1661-1724).This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
