Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 24 April 1731) is regarded as one of the founders of the English novel, best known for his classic work 'Robinson Crusoe'. Born as Daniel Foe, he later added the 'De' to his surname, aspiring to sound more gentlemanly. Defoe was a prolific writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who penned more than 300 works on diverse topics. His literary style often included the use of realism and narrative voice, pioneering a literary approach that brought fiction closer to life, making it more believable and relatable to the reader. Defoe's work, 'The Consolidator: Memoirs of Sundry Transactions from the World in the Moon', is a satirical novel published in 1705. It is a significant but less known piece that showcases his narrative abilities and his penchant for social and political commentary. It parallels terrestrial life with a lunar society, using the allegory's lens to critique contemporary European society and politics. Defoe's fascination with travel and trade, which are also central themes in 'Robinson Crusoe', helped shape the narratives of his fictional accounts, blending adventure with pointed observations about society, economics, and human nature. His works remain a vital part of the canon of English literature, and his innovative prose style resonates with readers and writers to this day.
