Synopsis

A new selection of Daniel Defoe's early, radical writings. It includes his verse satire on English chauvinism, his satire on High Church intolerance, as well as a dozen other pieces written between 1697 and 1706. These are of particular interest, considering Defoe's role of personal agent to the Secretary of State of the time, Robert Harley.
