About the author
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, born around 1660 in London and dead on April 24, 1731. He is most famous today for Robinson Crusoe, but he also wrote Moll Flanders and Roxana, works that helped make long-form realistic fiction popular with English readers.
His life was far from quiet. Defoe worked as a merchant, wrote on politics and religion, and became deeply involved in public debate through essays and journalism. That broad experience gives his fiction a practical, lived-in feeling: his characters often face danger, debt, moral choices, and the hard work of surviving in an uncertain world.
What keeps Defoe interesting is the mix of adventure and realism in his writing. Even centuries later, his books still feel close to everyday life, full of concrete detail and restless energy, which is one reason he is often remembered as an early master of the English novel.
