This is the definitive biography of one of eighteenth-century England's most influential figuresand of one of the most prolific and widely read authors of all time. "The outstanding virtue of this biography is its evocation of the complex political climate in which Defoe lived." Daniel Defoe (/d?'fo?/; born Daniel Foe; c. 1660 24 April 1731) was an English writer, trader, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, which is claimed to be second only to the Bible in its number of translations. He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson. Defoe wrote many political tracts, was often in trouble with the authorities, and spent a period in prison. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted him. Defoe was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred worksbooks, pamphlets, and journalson diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of business journalism and economic journalism.(Wikipedia) CONTENTS: PART i: 1660-1703 Fire and Plague Merchant-Rebel Bankrupt Recovery Fugitive Prison part 11: 1703-1714 Four Hundred Thousand Words The Literary Effort of a Lifetime g.
