About the Author

Daniel Defoe (c. 1660-1731) was an English writer, journalist, and trader, often regarded as one of the early figures in the development of the English novel. His work spans fiction, political writing, and journalism, reflecting both his varied career and his engagement with the social and economic life of his time.He is best known for works such as Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, and A Journal of the Plague Year. These texts are characterised by their use of realistic detail and first-person narration, contributing to the emergence of prose fiction as a sustained literary form. Defoe's writing continues to be studied for its role in shaping narrative technique and its depiction of individual experience within broader social conditions.
