Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 – 24 April 1731) was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, now most famously remembered for his novel 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719). Defoe is often credited with popularizing the English novel, and his work reflects a blend of realism, adventure, and social critique that was groundbreaking for its time. Born as Daniel Foe, he later added the aristocratic-sounding 'De' to his last name, creating the persona under which he would become known. Defoe was a prolific writer with more than 300 works to his name, ranging from political pamphlets to crime novels, reflecting his keen interest in trade, politics, and the complex social dynamics of the emerging middle class. A master of the narrative voice, Defoe had a distinctive ability to adopt various personae in his works, which allowed him to explore a multitude of perspectives and societal issues. His literary style is characterized by vivid description, memorable characters, and innovative narrative structures that often incorporated journalistic detail, making his stories both engaging and informative. 'The Complete Novels' of Daniel Defoe is an important collection that showcases the author's versatility and contribution to English literature. His works have continued to be read and studied for their imaginative storytelling and historical importance. Despite being imprisoned and facing political challenges throughout his life, Defoe's legacy as a pioneering figure in the novel form remains enduring and significant.
