Through this excellent and entertaining work we get the chance to glimpse not only the events which inspired Defoe to write his many masterpieces – including the classic Robinson Crusoe – but follow his career trajectory as tradesman, soldier and spy, to journalist, satirist, pamphleteer and novelist, drawing on his writings and letters from the period.Defoe was a man who experienced his fair share of troubles – from marital difficulties, and poor health, to imprisonment and crippling debt.
