Autorenporträt
Daniel Defoe (circa 1660–1731) was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy, now most famously known for his novel 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719). Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, helping to popularize the form in Britain and with a prolific and varied output. His literary career began with the publication of pamphlets and political pieces, with his work 'An Answer to a Question that Nobody thinks of, viz., But what if the Queen should Die?' reflecting the sharp political controversy of the times. His style often incorporated realism and narrative verve, elements that he combined to notable effect in 'Robinson Crusoe'. Additionally, Defoe produced 'Moll Flanders' (1722) and 'A Journal of the Plague Year' (1722), which continued to demonstrate his dexterity with prose and his ability to explore complex social and individual phenomena. Throughout his varied works, Defoe exhibited a keen interest in the experiences of ordinary individuals, making significant contributions to the development of the English novel. His writing not only entertained but often provided commentary on the social, economic, and political concerns of his time.
