Daniel Defoe, best known as the author of Robinson Crusoe, lived during a period of dramatic historical, political, and social change in Britain, and was by any standard a superb observer of his times. Through his pamphlets, newspapers, books of travel, and works of fiction he commented onanything and everything, from birth control to the price of coal, from flying machines to academies for women, from security for the aged to the dangers of the plague. In his fiction he created a type of vivid realism that powerfully influenced the development of the novel. The publication of workssuch as Robinson Crusoe are major events because they shape the ways in which we see our world, so that ever afterwards thoughts of desolation and desert islands immediately evoke Defoe's masterpiece. We should not be surprised: Defoe always wrote to make things happen. During his career as anauthor, he was a provocative pamphleteer, journalist, and poet; but when he was not writing, he was, at times, a spy and a double agent, a revolutionary and a dreamer. He was variously hunted by mobs with murderous intent and treated as a celebrity by the most powerful leaders of the country.Imprisoned four times or more, pilloried and reviled by his enemies, through it all he never lost confidence in his ability as a writer and thinker. Daniel Defoe: Master of Fictions is the first biography to view Defoe's complex life through the angle of vision that is most important to us as modern readers--his career as a writer. From his earliest collection of brief stories, which he presented to his future wife under the sobriquet Bellmour,to his Compleat English Gentleman, left unpublished at his death, Defoe was pre-eminently a creator of fictions. This life gives us, for the first time, a full understanding of the thought and personal experience that went into such great works as Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and Roxana.

It may be restated here, that there are seven years of De Foe's life unaccounted for: from the time when he left Mr. Morton's academy, to his appearing as a hosier in Cornhill; and during those years he must have been employed somewhere, probably as an apprentice to the hosiery business; for no man could take up the trade of hosier without learning it. De Foe was a writer and wit, but not a man of fixed counting-house book-keeping habits; and this he acknowledges to have been his case; for, when speaking of his failure in the hosiery business, he says: ? Wit, like mercury and quicksilver, is of use to make silver run, and separate the sterling from the dross; but bring it to the crucible by itself, and it flies up in the air like a true spirit, and is lost at once. A wit turned tradesman, no apron-strings will hold him; 'tis in vain to lock him in behind the counter; he's gone in a moment. Instead of journal and ledger, he runs away to Virgil and Horace; his journal entries are all Pindaricks, and his ledger is all heroicks. He is truly dramatic from one end to the other, through the whole scene of his trade; and as the first part is all comedy, so the two last acts are always made up with tragedy: a statute of bankruptcy is his exeunt omnes; and he generally speaks the epilogue in the Fleet or the Mint. We have seen before, at the chapel prayer, that he was in trouble in 1689; and in 1692, he had to run away from his creditors when his hosiery trade gave way; and now, in 1703, Lord Nottingham's prosecution closed the tileyard, caused his coach to be laid down, and made him change his residence, and go into a small house. There is no doubt but his whole life was a scene of dash and difficulty, bankruptcy and improvidence; he had great wit, and industry in c...
