Daniel Defoe Books

Daniel Defoe, (born 1660, London, Eng.—died April 24, 1731, London), English novelist, pamphleteer, and journalist, author of Robinson Crusoe (1719–22) and Moll Flanders (1722).Defoe’s father, James Foe, was a hard-working and fairly prosperous tallow chandler (perhaps also, later, a butcher), of Flemish descent. By his middle 30s, Daniel was calling himself “Defoe,” probably reviving a variant of what may have been the original family name. As a Nonconformist, or Dissenter, Foe could not send his son to the University of Oxford or to Cambridge; he sent him instead to the excellent academy at Newington Green kept by the Reverend Charles Morton. There Defoe received an education in many ways better, and certainly broader, than any he would have had at an English university. Morton was an admirable teacher, later becoming first vice president of Harvard College; and the clarity, simplicity, and ease of his style of writing—together with the Bible, the works of John Bunyan, and the pulpit oratory of the day—may have helped to form Defoe’s own literary style.The lists below can be found on this app that give some his main works:A General History of the PyratesA Journal of the Plague YearA New Voyage Round the World by a Course Never Sailed BeforeA Seasonable Warning and Caution against the Insinuations of Papists andA Short Narrative of the Life and Actions of His Grace John, D. of MarlboroghA True Relation of the Apparition of one Mrs. VealA Vindication of the PressAn American Robinson CrusoeAn Answer to a Question that Nobody thinks of, viz., But what if the QueenAn Appeal to Honour and Justice, Though It Be of His Worst Enemies.An Essay Upon ProjectsAn Humble Proposal to the People of England, for the Increase of their TradeAnd What if the Pretender should ComeAtalantis MajorAugusta TriumphansDickory Cronke The Dumb Philosopher, or, Great Britains WonderEverybodys Business Is Nobodys BusinessFrom London to Lands EndHistory of the Plague in LondonMemoirs of Major Alexander Ramkins (1718)Memoirs of a CavalierMilitary Memoirs of Capt.
