Review
"For the first time everything we know about Defoe is presented in a single orderly sequence..A searching study of a complex man, one that is coherent and credible for our times." -- New York Times Book Review
From the Back Cover
Paula Backscheider's widely acclaimed biography offers a fascinating account of this remarkable life. She reveals new information about Defoe's secret career as a double agent, his daring business ventures, his dangerous pen--and his cat and mouse games with those who sought to control it. This is the definitive biography of one of eighteenth-century England's most influential figures--and one of the most prolific and widely read authors of all time.
