Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe (ca. 1659-1661 - 24 April 1731), born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer,
who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of
the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as among the founders of
the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets, and journals on various
topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
