| | Daniel Defoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Defoe's next novel was Captain Singleton (1720), amazing for its portrayal of the redemptive power of one man's love for another. | | | The same is true of a massive history of the Union which Defoe published in 1709 and which some historians still treat as a valuable contemporary source for their own works. | | | Defoe took pains to give his history an air of objectivity by giving some space to arguments against the Union, but always having the last word for himself. |

| | Malaspina Great Books - Daniel Defoe (1660) |
| | Defoe is no Descartes, Newton, Galileo, Locke or Hobbes. | | | Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was an English pamphleteer&; journalist and novelist, at a time when the novel form was in its infancy in the English language, and can thus fairly be said to be one of its progenitors. | | | Defoe suggests that the Spaniards had been "beasts" in their oppression of the Americas -- this is nothing more than the conventional wisdom of Defoe's day. |

| | Daniel Defoe |
| | Defoe's exposure in the pillory (July 29, 30, 31) was, however, rather a triumph than a punishment, for the populace took his side; and his Hymn to the Pillory, which he soon after published, is one of the best of his poetical works. | | | Defoe was uniformly grateful to the minister, and his language respecting him is in curious variance with that generally used. | | | The course of Defoe's life was determined about the middle of the reign of William III by his introduction to that monarch and other influential persons. |

| | Daniel Defoe |
| | Defoe was not the man to shrink with loathing from the companionship of thieves, highwaymen, forgers, coiners, and pirates. | | | Defoe was thoroughly master of his subject; he had read every history that he could lay his hands on, and his connexion with King William had guided him to the mainsprings of political action, and fixed in his mind clear principles for England's foreign policy. | | | Defoe prided himself upon his verse, and in a catalogue of the Poets in one of his later pieces assigned himself the special province of “lampoon.” He possibly believed that his clever doggerel was a better title to immortality than Robinson Crusoe. |

| | Daniel Defoe - The Tru-Born Englishman |
| | Daniel was very pleased when William and Mary took charge, and wrote in favour of William in particular, but he was in the minority there. | | | Daniel had a nasty habit of always trying to stick closely to the truth, which was not looked at favourably at this time. | | | Still, it was only a pamphlet, which made Daniel the lowest form of writer as far as his contemporaries were concerned. |

| | Defoe’s subsequent novels—Journal of the Plague Year, Moll Flanders, Roxana, and the rest—belong to the same shadowy genre of fiction passing as truth. | | | Defoe ended his professional years as he began them, writing a string of curiosities that include General History of the Pirates (1726) and The Universal History of Apparitions (1729). | | | The best physical description of Daniel Defoe comes to us, fittingly, from a wanted poster: "a middle siz’d spare man, about 40 years old, of a brown complexion, and dark brown—coloured hair, but wears a wig; a hooked nose, a sharp chin, grey eyes and a large mole near his mouth." |

| | This recording of Daniel Defoe's 1722 novel features a too skimpy abridgment of the tale of the irrepressible title character, born in London's Newgate Gaol. | | | Defoe's work is eminently modern with his psychological insight: 'What a Felicity is it to Mankind that they cannot see into the Hearts of one another, and 'Modest men are better Hypocrites'; | | | Unlike his near-contemporary John Cleland (_Fanny Hill_), Defoe was trying to keep out of jail, and so didn't dwell on the details of "correspondence" between Moll and her varied lovers. |

| | Instead the book comes across as a story of human resiliance and spirit, the fact that it is apparently based on the real life experiences of a stranded sailor make the story all the more remarkable. | | | It is the romance of the story line that holds him in our collective consciousness and draws new readers to this book in their droves, but to read it as an adventure story of the "Treasure Island" mould is to miss the point, and will inevitably dissappoint. | | | Thought to be the first "novel" ever published it is understandable that the writing does not flow in the same way as contemporary fiction, but the overall sophistication of Defoe's ideas is pleasantly surprising in the context that he HAD no contemporaries to influence him or compare to. |

| | All Defoe’s writings are distinguished by a clear, nervous style, and his works of fiction by a minute verisimilitude and naturalness of incident which has never been equalled except perhaps by Swift, whose genius his, in some other respects, resembled. | | | Before settling down to his career as a political writer, Defoe had been engaged in various enterprises as a hosier, a merchant-adventurer to Spain and Portugal, and a brickmaker, all of which proved so unsuccessful that he had to fly from his creditors. | | | Notwithstanding the disfavour with the government which these disasters implied, Defoe’s knowledge of commercial affairs and practical ability were recognised by his being sent in 1706 to Scotland to aid in the Union negotiations. |
