Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe was an English writer who is best known for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which was published in 1719 and is considered one of the earliest examples of the modern novel. It is believed that Defoe was educated at a dissenting academy in Newington Green, London, known for its liberal and nonconformist views. However, there are no official records of his attendance. At fourteen years old, he was sent to work as an apprentice to a merchant to learn the trade of commerce. After a few years, Defoe became involved in politics and journalism. He wrote political pamphlets and satirical essays, often under a pseudonym and was known for his plain and direct writing style. Defoe’s early experiences in trade and commerce would later influence his writing. His work has had a lasting influence on the development of the English novel, and he is considered one of the founders of the genre.
