Historic. Classic. Tedious.By Larry R.Read because it was mentioned in a Churchill biography, and is considered a classic. A 17th century Englishman's view of how a woman thinks. I toughed it out and finished reading it so I could say I had read it. The book was incredibly tedious.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Interesting, added value makes this public domain material worth buyingBy JerseyTomatoFrom the description in Works of Daniel Defoe. (30+ Works). Includes Robinson Crusoe, Dickory Cronke, Moll Flanders, Roxana, A Journal of the Plague Year, The Life Adventures ... the Famous Captain Singleton and more (mobi), The Storm is not included, and any free versions you'll find elsewhere won't include everything in this Penguin version. The book consists of three parts, one of which has never been available in book form before Penguin did it. In addition, there's a great introductory section which explains Defoe's writing style, his purpose in writing these particular works, interesting biographical information, and some general information about British society at the time. Having this context makes Defoe's actual work easier to understand, if you aren't used to an 18th century writing style. There's also a suggested book list for further reading which looks helpful. I haven't been able to plow through all of Defoe's version (it can be rather repetitive), but I wouldn't mind finding out more about the storm itself from a modern perspective.I subtracted one star for a formatting problem: In the introductory section, there was a paragraph that kept repeating between new paragraphs about 4 or 5 times. Not a biggie in itself, but it makes you wonder if there are other less obvious problems in the main part of the book. Having never read this before, I don't know if anything else is missing, out of order, or just mixed up. I'm willing to pay $9.99 when it's warranted, but I'd like to be sure I'm getting something that's proofread as well as the print version.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. An hurricane in Britain .. strange but realBy Luis MansillaIt was the evening of 26 November 1703 when a still powerful hurricane that crossed all the atlantic was about to hit Britain. Life was as usual althought climate had been very peculiar days before, with strong winds from the south. It was the time when the cathedral of St Paul was being reconstructed and it was the time of the very well known fiction writer, Daniel Defoe. In this, one of his first works, he provide a serie of accounts of the event from several sources, several stories of how this dreadful storm hit people's towns, houses and ships. 'Tis interesting to note that chimneys were the major killers in houses and that lots of trees were also lost, especially elms. People didn't blame climate change, too much C02 in the air or anything else, but God's fury.What attracted me to this book was the very unique case, when an "extratropical hurricane" (not tropical), likely originated in the atlantic east of florida, diverted its path and managed to cross the whole Atlantic to reach Britain with such strong force, knowing that those waters in the north atlantic are very cold. A strange phenomena indeed, and an event printed in history by a great writer of the time, Daniel Defoe. Part of his life is depicted in the introduction chapter of the book and to tell you the truth, I'd really like to read his biography. The Storm By Daniel Defoe About the AuthorDaniel Defoenbsp;was born Daniel Foe in London in 1660. It was perhaps ineveitable that Defoe, an outspoken man, would become a political journalist. As a Puritan he believed God had given him a mission to print the truth, that is, to proselytize on religion and politics, and he became a prolific pamphleteer satirizing the hypocrisies of both Church and State. Defoe admired William III, and his poemThe True-Born Englishmannbsp;(1701) won him the King's friendship. But an ill-timed satire on High Church extremists,nbsp;The Shortest Way with the Dissenters, published during Queen Anne's reign, resulted in his being pilloried and imprisoned for seditious libel in 1703.nbsp; At fifty-nine Defoe turned to fiction, completingnbsp;The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe(1719), partly based on the saga of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor;nbsp;Moll Flandersnbsp;(1722);nbsp;Colonel Jacknbsp;(1722);A Journal of the Plague Yearsnbsp;(1722); andnbsp;Roxana or the Fortunate Mistressnbsp;(1724).

  • Robinson Crusoe
    READING GROUP GUIDE ROBINSON CRUSOE BY DANIEL DEFOE Restless Classics presents the Three-Hundredth Anniversary Edition of Robinson Crusoe, the classic Caribbean adventure story and foundatio- nal English novel, with new illustrations by Eko and an introduction by Jamaica Kincaid that recontextualizes the book for our globalized, post- colonial era. Three centuries after Daniel Defoe published Robinson Crusoe, this gripping tale of a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being ultimately rescued, remains a classic of the adventure genre and is widely considered the first great English novel. But the book also has much to teach us, in retrospect, about entrenched attitudes of coloni- zers toward the colonized that still resound today. As celebrated Caribbean writer Jamaica Kincaid writes in her bold new introduction, “The vivid, vibrant, subtle, important role of the tale of Robinson Crusoe, with his triumph of individual resilience and ingenuity wrapped up in his European, which is to say white, identity, has played in the long, unin- BUY FROM RESTLESS terrupted literature of European conquest of the rest of the world must not be dismissed or Paperback List Price: $19.99 ignored or silenced.” ISBN: 9781632061195 Publication: 8/27/19 Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 - 1731) was an English writer, journalist, and spy, who gained 5.5” x 8.25” • 384 pages enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest Fiction: Classics/ World Litera- ture / Caribbean/ Adventure/ practitioners of the novel and helped popularize the genre in Britain.

  • Defoe in the Miscellanies
    Defoe in the Miscellanies ANDREAS K. E. MUELLER AS A RESULT of the enormous success of his verse satire The True-Born Englishman (1700), Daniel Defoe was for some time one of the best known authors of verse in early eighteenth-century London. Moreover, the poem maintained its appeal and continued to be a bestseller for the rest of the century, reaching a twenty-fifth official edition in 1777. To place this in a commercial context, Defoe’s perhaps most famous publication, The Life and Most Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719), reached ‘only’ its fourteenth official English edition in 1779. The True-Born Englishman was no fluke: several of Defoe’s other poems, A Hymn to the Pillory (1703), A Hymn to Victory (1704), and Jure Divino (1706), to name but three, equally required multiple editions, official and pirated, to satisfy market demand. Although not as successful as The True-Born Englishman, A Hymn to the Pillory inspired an anonymous broadsheet imitation as late as 1760.1 We might also note that, while Defoe’s plans to have Jure Divino printed by subscription were sorely disappointed, the subscription edition of Caledonia (1706) fared rather better: as Pat Rogers (102-103) has pointed out, the list of subscribers to Defoe’s last major poem could plausibly be described as a more distinguished one than those achieved by Pope, Gay, or Prior. Debates may certainly be had with regard to the merits of Defoe’s poetry, but the popularity of several of his verse publications seems to be beyond doubt. There were usually enough buyers

  • STRUCTURE and MEANING in DEFOE's ROXANA by Robert
    STRUCTURE AND MEANING IN DEFOE'S ROXANA by Robert Stewart Allin B.A., University of Victoria, 1970 i A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1974 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date 9 October 1974 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, it is intended as a demonstration that Defoe wrote Roxana with a high degree of conscious awareness. Secondly, it is to be a reading which shows that Roxana is a well unified novel, the meaning of which emerges clearly because of its structure. Thirdly, it is to be the basis for a reappraisal of Defoe the novelist. The study is comprised of an investigation of the nature and function of the six structuring devices I have found in Roxana. Of these, foreshadowing was considered first. The analysis of fore• shadowing shows that Defoe used .this .device in a calculated way, and the study leads to the conclusion.that Defoe was writing the novel as a conscious and subtle craftsman and artist.

  • Daniel Defoe
    English writer, pamphleteer and journalist, he is the founder of the English novel with his Robinson Crusoe (1719) and other works. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets and journals on crime, politics, marriage, psychology, religion and the supernatural. SECTION SUMMARY 2 DANIEL DEFOE 1659-1661: Daniel “Foe”(his original name) was probably born in London – in his early life he experienced first-hand some of the most unusual occurrences in English history… ❑ in 1665 over 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague; ❑ in 1666 the Great Fire hit his neighbourhood hard, leaving only his and two other homes standing in the area; ❑ in 1667 a Dutch fleet sailed up the Medway via the River Thames and attacked Chatham (Second Anglo-Dutch War). 1680: he entered the world of business as a merchant, dealing in general woollen goods and wine. 4 DANIEL DEFOE • 1692: he was arrested for debts (at times due to dishonest financial dealings), then released, and probably travelled in Europe and Scotland till 1695, when he was back in England using the name Defoe in order to sound more gentlemanly. Two years later he began his political and pamphleteering activities. 1703 (3rd July): he was arrested again and placed in a pillory for 3 days due to his widely mis- understood pamphlet The Shortest Way with Dissenters in favour of religious tolerance. People threw flowers at him, not the customary harmful and noxious objects! Sent to Newgate Prison he was soon released5 in exchange for his co-operation as an intelligence agent.

  • The Providence of Pirates: Defoe and the “True-Bred Merchant”
    21 The Providence of Pirates: Defoe and the “True-Bred Merchant” JOSHUA GRASSO IT IS strange that Daniel Defoe, for all his fascination with criminals, exploration, and commerce, never wrote the definitive pirate novel. Defoe’s chameleon-like ability to inhabit the clothes of men and women throughout society, particularly its lower classes, seemed tailor made for capturing the ambiguous morality that fueled the English pirate. He certainly lived at a time when models were ripe for the picking: Henry Avery, Edward Teach, Captain Kidd, and scores of others pirated during his lifetime and excited the interest of publishers throughout England. Not that Defoe avoided the subject completely, as his name has been linked to numerous pirate fictions, from the now accepted Captain Singleton (1720) to the more controversial King of Pirates (1719), An Account of the Conduct and Proceedings of the Late John Gow (1725) and the largely discredited A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates (1724). The sense of ‘should have’ rings through many of these works, as Defoe should have been the one to write a comprehensive encyclopedia of English pirates and their effect on the economy, especially given his obsessive interest in trade and nationalism. Perhaps this fueled John Robert Moore’s famous 1939 work, Defoe in the Pillory, which argued for the inclusion of The General History and many other pirate fictions (theories cemented in his 1961 Checklist of the Writings of Daniel Defoe). For decades, this more or less settled the matter: Defoe was the great pirate novelist before Stevenson, though he never bequeathed us with a great pirate novel per se.

Suggested Essay Topics 9. Suggestions for Further Reading 10. Bibliography STRUCTURE 1. Background 1.1. An Overview of Novel The novel is the most popular literary form of the last 250 years. Novels are indeed ubiquitous and provide both intellectual stimulation and emotional satisfaction. The novel is also an especially important and influential form. To the extent, for example, that we see society as complex and interconnected or view human personality as the product of early childhood experience, we are—whether we realize it or not—registering the impact of such writers as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, Henry James and Virginia Woolf. 1 2 This overview of novel is an introduction to the form of the novel and, in particular, to the English novel tradition. No prior knowledge of the texts or authors is assumed. The course has an unusually wide sweep, beginning in the 1740s and closing in the 1920s. In distinguishing the novel from other forms, we might note two of its most striking features. The first is the novel’s preoccupation with social values and social distinctions. A great novel often seems to describe an entire society, creating a vivid image of the relationships among whole classes of people. It’s no wonder that novels are frequently described as the forerunners of modern ethnographies and social histories. Equally important to our ongoing definition of the novel form is its interest in human psychology.
