I know this question is old, but I am wondering why haven't you use require.js in order to get the router:

define(['./PathToRouter', ], function (router) {
    return Backbone.View.extend({
        template: Handlebars.compile($('#template').html()),

        events: {
            'click .edit': 'edit'
        },

        render: function () {
            //Create and insert the cover letter view
            $(this.el).html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
            $('#View').html(this.el);

            return this;
        },

        edit: function () {
            router.navigate('Edit/' + this.model.id, true);
        }
    });
});
