Inhaltsangabe

""Tour Through Eastern Counties Of England"" is a travelogue written by Daniel Defoe, who is best known for his novel ""Robinson Crusoe"". The book is a detailed account of his travels through the eastern counties of England, including Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire. Defoe's journey took place in the early 18th century, and the book was first published in 1722.In the book, Defoe describes the towns, villages, and landscapes he encountered on his journey. He provides detailed descriptions of the architecture, customs, and way of life of the people he met along the way. He also discusses the history and geography of the region, including its agriculture, industry, and natural resources.Defoe's writing style is lively and engaging, and he brings the places he visits to life with his vivid descriptions. He also includes anecdotes and observations about the people he meets, giving readers a sense of the social and cultural context of the time.Overall, ""Tour Through Eastern Counties Of England"" is a fascinating historical document that provides a glimpse into life in England in the early 18th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or English culture.This is indeed most visible, speaking of Stratford in Essex; but it is the same thing in proportion in other villages adjacent, especially on the forest side; as at Low Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Woodford, Wanstead, and the towns of West Ham, Plaistow, Upton, etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. He is most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which is 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 and often was in trouble with the authorities, including a spell in prison. Intellectuals and political leaders paid attention to his fresh ideas and sometimes consulted with him. Defoe was a prolific and versatile writer, producing more than three hundred works-books, pamphlets, and journals-on diverse topics, including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology, and the supernatural. He was also a pioneer of business journalism and economic journalism. From 1719 to 1724, Defoe published the novels for which he is famous (see below). In the final decade of his life, he also wrote conduct manuals, including Religious Courtship (1722), The Complete English Tradesman (1726) and The New Family Instructor (1727). He published a number of books decrying the breakdown of the social order, such as The Great Law of Subordination Considered (1724) and Everybody's Business is Nobody's Business (1725) and works on the supernatural, like The Political History of the Devil (1726), A System of Magick (1727) and An Essay on the History and Reality of Apparitions (1727). His works on foreign travel and trade include A General History of Discoveries and Improvements (1727) and Atlas Maritimus and Commercialis (1728). Perhaps his greatest achievement with the novels is the magisterial A Tour Thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain (1724-27), which provided a panoramic survey of British trade on the eve of the Industrial Revolution.
