Daniel Defoe
(1660—1731)
English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy
Some Comments
one of the 18 century four famous British novelists(the other three are Jonathan Swift, Richardson and Henry Fielding)[在18世纪英国四大 著名小说家中,笛福名列第一(其余三个分别是乔纳 森·斯威夫特、理查逊和亨利·菲尔丁] • called one of the greatest journalists and the father of journalism in Bratain.Defoe is noted for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Samuel Richardson, and is among the founders of the English novel.
Robinson Crusoe

relates the story of a man's shipwreck on a desert island for thirty years and his subsequent adventures. Usually read as fiction, a coincidence of background geography suggests that this may be non-fiction. In the opening pages of The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, the author describes how Crusoe settled in Bedford, married and produced a family, and that when his wife died, he went off on these further adventures. Bedford is also the place where the brother of "H. F." in A Journal of the Plague Year retired to avoid the danger of the plague, so that by implication, if these works were not fiction, Defoe's family met Crusoe in Bedford, from whence the information in these books was gathered. Defoe went to school in Stoke Newington, London, with a friend named Caruso. The novel has been assumed to be based in part on the story of the Scottish castaway Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years stranded in the Juan Fernández Islands, but this is inconsistent with the details of the narrative. The island Selkirk lived on was named Más a Tierra (Closer to Land) at the time and was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966. It has been supposed that Defoe may have also been inspired by the Latin or English translation of a book by the Andalusian-Arab Muslim polymath Ibn Tufail, who was known as "Abubacer" in Europe. The Latin edition of the book was entitled Philosophus Autodidactus and it was an earlier novel that is also set on a deserted island.

Alexander Pope said of him,"The first part of Robinson Crusoe is very good–De Foe wrote a vast many things; and none bad,though none excellent,except this" his works have been subjected to modern interpretations,e.g.,Marxist,psychoanalytic,fem inist,and poststructuralist.
