Daniel Defoe Biography & Notes

Daniel Defoe (1660(?)- April 1731) was an English writer, journalist and spy, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel and helped popularize the genre in England. He is also a pioneer of economic journalism.

He was born Daniel Foe, probably in the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate, London. Both the date and the place of his birth are uncertain. His father, James Foe, though a member of the Butchers' Company was a tallow chandler. Daniel later added the aristocratic sounding "De" to his name and on occasion claimed descent from the family of De Beau Faux. His parents were Presbyterian dissenters, and he was educated in a Dissenting Academy at Stoke Newington run by Charles Morton (later vice-president of Harvard University).

After leaving school and deciding not to become a dissenting minister, Defoe entered the world of business as a general merchant, dealing at different times in hosiery, general woollen goods, and wine. Though his ambitions were great and he bought both a country estate and a ship (as well as civet cats to make perfume), he was rarely free from debt. In 1692, Defoe was arrested for payments of £700 (and his cats were seized), though his total debts may have amounted to £17,000. His laments were loud, and he always defended unfortunate debtors, but there is evidence that his financial dealings were not always honest.

Following his release, he probably travelled in Europe and Scotland, and it may have been at this time that he traded in wine to Cadiz, Porto, and Lisbon. By 1695 he was back in England, using the name "Defoe", and serving as a "commissioner of the glass duty", responsible for collecting the tax on bottles. In 1696, he was operating a tile and brick factory in Tilbury, Essex.

Defoe's pamphleteering and political activities resulted in his arrest and placement in a pillory on July 31, 1703, principally on account of a pamphlet entitled "The Shortest Way with Dissenters", in which he ruthlessly satirised the High church Tories, purporting to argue for the extermination of dissenters. The publication of his poem Hymn to the Pillory, however, caused his audience at the pillory to throw flowers instead of the customary harmful and noxious objects, and to drink to his health.

After his three days in the pillory Defoe went into Newgate Prison. Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Mortimer, brokered his release in exchange for Defoe's co-operation as an intelligence agent. He set up his periodical A Review of the Affairs of France in 1704, supporting the Harley ministry. The Review ran without interruption until 1713. When Harley lost power in 1708 Defoe continued writing it to support Godolphin, then again to support Harley and the Tories in the Tory ministry of 1710 to 1714. After the Tories fell from power with the death of Queen Anne, Defoe continued doing intelligence work for the Whig government.

Defoe's famous novel Robinson Crusoe (1719), tells of a man's shipwreck on a desert island and his subsequent adventures. The author may have based his narrative on the true story of the shipwreck of the Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk.

Defoe's next novel was Captain Singleton (1720), amazing for its portrayal of the redemptive power of one man's love for another. Hans Turley has recently shown how Quaker William's love turns Captain Singleton away from the murderous life of a pirate, and the two make a solemn vow to live as a male couple happily ever after in London, disguised as Greeks and never speaking English in public, with Singleton married to William's sister as a ruse.

Defoe wrote an account of the Great Plague of 1665: A Journal of the Plague Year.

He also wrote Moll Flanders (1722), a picaresque first-person narration of the fall and eventual redemption of a lone woman in 17th century England. She appears as a whore, bigamist and thief, lives in The Mint, commits adultery and incest, yet manages to keep the reader's sympathy. Both this work and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724) offer remarkable examples of the way in which Defoe seems to inhabit his fictional (yet "drawn from life") characters, not least in that they are women.

Daniel Defoe died on April 24 or 25, 1731 and was interred in Bunhill Fields, London.

	A General History of Pyrates by Daniel Defoe, Manuel Schonhorn ( 1999) Best known as the author of Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe was also an expert in maritime affairs. He put that expertise and his considerable literary talents into this book -- today the major source of information about piracy in the first quarter of the 18th century. Buccaneers ruled the seas during this golden age of maritime marauding, and Defoe's narrative abounds in tales of flamboyant sea-going outlaws and their bloody deeds: Captain Edward Teach, alias Blackbeard; Captain William Kid, whose trial and execution created a sensation throughout London and the world; Mary Read and Anne Bonny, who disguised themselves as men and sailed under the Jolly Roger with the ill-fated Captain John Rackham; and many others. This fascinating blend of fact and fiction -- incorporating Defoe's celebrated flair for journalistic detail -- has been skillfully edited by noted scholar Manuel Schonhorn, and a new Introduction provides insights into the origins and significance of this important historical work.

	A General History of the Robberies & Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates by Daniel Defoe, Charles Johnson ( 1998) Originally published in 1724, this famous account of the pirates by the mysterious Captain Johnson (who many historians believe to be Daniel Defoe) has long been a classic of seafaring literature. Filled with stunning details of executions, sea battles, and adventures on the high seas, the original edition has long been famed among scholars of the maritime world for its honesty and balance. It is also one of the few early works to include the female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and was the first to publicize the now infamous Blackbeard and Captain Kidd. This edition has been thoroughly updated with modern spellings and grammar to aid the reader, and includes commentary and an introduction by David Cordingly, author of the acclaimed Under the Black Flag.

	A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates by Daniel Defoe ( 1999) Originally published in 1724, this instantaneous bestseller delivered a dramatic and detailed chronicle of robbery and murder on the high seas. The General History's vivid prose and graphic accounts not only were mainly responsible for the posthumous reputations of Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, but also have inspired fictional pirates, from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island to Errol Flynn's movies. The General History undebatably created the modern conception of pirates -- the Jolly Roger, marooning, and squawking parrots -- but it was also scrupulously researched. Its accounts were almost certainly based on interviews with captured pirates and trial testimony, and its convincing recreation of seamen's language adds the true flavor of ocean-going larceny. In these pages readers will encounter the female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny, who both escaped execution because of pregnancy, and the rapaciously successful Captain Bartholomew Roberts, who looted hundreds of ships before his death on the high seas.

	A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe ( 1969) In this novel, set in 1665, when the plague was rampant in Europe, a group of Londoners leaves the city and takes refuge in Epsom Forest. Daniel Defoe used the novel as an opportunity to express his disagreement with the unpopular proposed policy of quarantining London. It is notable for its intensely realistic scenes of terror, suffering, and death based on Defoe's childhood memories of London during the plague years.

	A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe ( 2001) Defoe's account of the bubonic plague that swept London in 1665 remains as vivid as it is harrowing. Based on Defoe's own childhood memories and prodigious research, A Journal of the Plague Year walks the line between fiction, history, and reportage. In meticulous and unsentimental detail it renders the daily life of a city under siege; the often gruesome medical precautions and practices of the time; the mass panics of a frightened citizenry; and the solitary travails of Defoe's narrator, a man who decides to remain in the city through it all, chronicling the course of events with an unwavering eye. Defoe's Journal remains perhaps the greatest account of a natural disaster ever written. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the original edition published in 1722.

	The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe ( 2003) Daniel Defoe was nearly 60 years old when he published ROBINSON CRUSOE, his first novel, in 1719. The story of an English mariner, sole survivor of a shipwreck, who manages to survive for 28 years on a deserted island in the South Pacific, ROBINSON CRUSOE is a stirring depiction of loneliness and isolation as Crusoe builds a house, teaches himself to grow corn and barley, and bakes bread. The book was based on the true tale of a sailor named Alexander Selkirk, but Defoe inserts his own preoccupations into the story. Long fascinated by travel, questions of identity, and the minutiae of daily life, Defoe makes Crusoe's saga of survival into the story of a man who takes control of his own life and overcomes hardships and difficulties in order not only to survive but to prosper. With the introduction of the faithful Friday, who has been taken prisoner by a band of cannibals, Defoe goes further, and explores the concepts of personal liberty and colonialism. The novel is a perennial favorite, providing not only food for thought but a rousing adventure that has influenced dozens of books, movies, and TV shows. People who have never read the novel and never will are very aware of the existence of Robinson Crusoe and his desert island.

	Roxana Or, the Fortunate Mistress by Daniel Defoe ( 2003) Daniel Defoe's novel about a woman who overcomes poverty to become wealthy and successful is another of his universally popular tales of outcasts and outsiders. Abandoned by her husband, Roxana farms out her five children and supports herself by becoming the mistress of her wealthy landlord, then a French prince, a rich merchant, Charles II, and an English lord. She amasses a fortune and disdains marriage until, later in her life, she finally accepts the suit of one of her lovers and retires to Holland with her husband. Unlike Moll Flanders, Defoe's other rags-to-riches heroine, Roxana doesn't abandon her dissolute life when it is no longer economically necessary; she sinks deeper into it, and ends up haunted by guilt and remorse.
