| | The Life, Adventures and Piracies of the Famous Captain Singleton Story |
 | | However, the captain contented himself with executing these two, and some of the rest, upon their humble submission and promise of future good behaviour, were pardoned; but five were ordered to be set on shore on the island and left there, of which I was one. | | | But let us glance at a few passages in "Captain Singleton," which may show us why Defoe excels as a realist, and why his descriptions of "low life" are artistically as perfect as any descriptions of "higher life" in the works of the English novelists. | | | These indeed were the life and soul of all the rest, and it was to their courage that all the rest owed the resolution they showed upon any occasion. |

| | That great leveler, a common trouble, put Henrietta Sloane, the stewardess, and the women of the party at the same table in the after house, where none ate, and placed the responsibility for the ship, although, I was nominally in command, on the shoulders of all the men. | | | Every man was there, Singleton below by the captain's body, the crew, silent and horror-struck, grouped on the steps: Clarke, McNamara, Burns, Oleson, and Adams. | | | I arranged to have one man constantly on guard in the after house--a difficult matter where all were under suspicion. |

| | Be it noted that Sir Nele Loring, K.G., did exist and that he was knighted on the spot during the great naval victory of Edward III's sailors over the French at Sluys. | | | The authorities being close on their trail, the abductors disposed of John to a beggar woman who, in turn, sold him to a gypsy woman. | | | From Singleton's account, he may have discovered Lake Tanganyika, thus preceding Sir Richard Francis Burton by about 150 years. |

| | After I examine Singleton's early career as a pirate, I shall pay careful attention to the relationship that builds between the title character and his companion Quaker William." | | | "Daniel Defoe's novel Captain Singleton (1720) is the most important of his pirate works and particularly significant in a history of the novel that emphasizes psychological realism and domestic subjectivity. | | | n this essay, I shall analyze the second half of Captain Singleton, generally overlooked in the criticism of the book. |

| | There is little reason, however, for believing that he kept his copy by him and poured it forth at specially favourable times, or that he had a “double” whose style is undistinguishable from his. | | | This is, of course, The Memoirs of a Cavalier, the absorbing story of the wars in Germany and England, for the accuracy of which so many untrained persons have been willing to vouch that some critics have assumed for it a superfluous manuscript source. | | | Singleton also holds attention by that interest in criminals which Defoe naturally began to display in greater degree so soon as he formed his six years’ editorial connection with John Applebee, the chosen publisher of the confessions and biographies of noted malefactors. |
