Daniel Defoe’s Moral and Political Thought in Its Religious Context Chienyuen Chen PhD Thesis The University of Edinburgh 2019 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the religious ideas of the famous English journalist and novelist Daniel Defoe. Today, Defoe is best remembered as a novelist, but most of his works are non-fictional works including a sizable number of didactic or supernatural writings. Even though there is a rising scholarly interest in Defoe’s thoughts on subjects such as politics or Puritanism, there is hardly a single monograph devoted to Defoe’s religious ideas. This thesis aims to fill the gap by examining Defoe’s works throughout his career. It demonstrates that Defoe’s Presbyterian upbringing was influential in his emphasis on the ideas of good work, practical godliness, and the development of good habits. Furthermore, this thesis will demonstrate that Defoe proposed solutions to the problems of alcoholism and swearing in England of his age, on the basis of a neo-Augustinian view of human nature and his ideas on how to correct corrupt passions by manipulating other passions. Thus, Defoe shows that even though self-love and pride are impossible to eradicate, it was viable for the social and political elites to design a proper mechanism for the public to satisfy their vanity and meanwhile unintentionally improve their behaviour. Furthermore, this study offers a detailed examination of Defoe’s view of luxury in its contemporary context. It demonstrates that Defoe’s neo-Augustinian ideas of original sin and self- love are crucial to his argument about the futility of prohibiting consumption. Since luxury is a necessary vice that supports the livelihood of a vast number of people, it is prudent to ponder on the delicate difference between harmful squandering and healthy consumption. This thesis uses Defoe’s discussion of the dilemma of the businessmen 3 engaged in luxury trade to shed light on Defoe’s contribution to the contemporary luxury debate. Following this, Defoe’s political views are examined, in particular his criticism of divine right theory. There will be a particular focus on Defoe’s emphasis on original sin and the corrupted nature of political leaders. Based on Defoe’s close reading of the Old Testament, this thesis examines his explanation of Adam and the Fall, and the idea of the transition from patriarchy to monarchy. The thesis demonstrates that Defoe’s use of the biblical accounts of Saul, Rehoboam and Jeroboam was part of his debate with the High-Churchmen concerning the legitimacy of the reign of William and Mary. Based on his distinctive combination of an Augustinian understanding of sin and human nature, natural law theories and biblical exegesis, Defoe provided original interpretations of the Old Testament and used Scripture to convey political messages. The final chapter examines Defoe’s use of the past. Defoe insisted that Moses and the Hebrews were given the knowledge of letters directly from God, and this gift confirmed the status of the Hebrews as a chosen people. Moreover, Defoe had a particular interest in the Phoenicians’ achievements in navigation and trade, which were another proof of God’s favour. Defoe argued that, judging by the improvement England had achieved in his era, Britain was the genuine successor of these two ancient peoples. This thesis makes clear the central role that religion played in Defoe’s works. By probing into his Augustinian understanding of human nature and his frequent references to the Old Testament, this research sheds light on and deepens the current scholarship’s understanding of Defoe’s ideas of morals, commerce, politics, and history. 4 Lay Summary This thesis provides an analysis of an understudied dimension of the thought of Daniel Defoe (1660-1731), a journalist, novelist, and historian. Remembered foremost as a novelist today, Defoe’s non-fiction writings have long been neglected. Although scholars have begun to pay attention to Defoe’s works on subjects such as politics, economics and history, his religious ideas have not been examined to the same extent. In contrast, this thesis places him within the contexts of French Jansenism and English Dissent, in particular. Defoe derives his main religious ideas, which later form the essence of his works, from these backgrounds. This thesis argues that Defoe’s Jansenist view of human nature is reflected by his keen interest in pride, self-love and self- interest. These passions are so deeply rooted that they can never be removed. Instead of resorting to abstinence, Defoe proposes a practical solution of balancing passions with other passions. This attitude is central to his contribution to the Reformation of Manners movement during the turn of the 18th century, and to his apology for the luxury business against other intellectuals’ critiques. Furthermore, the thesis points out Defoe’s familiarity with and frequent quotations of the Old Testament, in particular in his moral and political thoughts. His critique of the divine right theory of the high churchmen was founded on Scripture and Defoe believed that the unfolding of human history offered an indication of God's will. His particular interest in the Phoenicians’ achievements in navigation and trade can be seen in this light. He argued that the excellence of Phoenician trade was proof of God's particular blessing. Defoe argued that Britain was the genuine successor of this ancient race, because of the degree of 5 improvement England had achieved in his lifetime. This thesis provides a new in-depth study of Defoe’s religious thought, and is based on fictional and non-fictional works from every period of his career. The deeper meanings of the understudied aspects of Defoe’s intellectual world can only be uncovered, as this thesis shows, by focusing on the role played by his religious thought. 6 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been finished without the guidance of my supervisors Professors Adam Fox and Thomas Ahnert.

    War of Words: Daniel Defoe and the 1707 Union Anne M. McKim Thus, on both Sides, the case stood between the nations, a Pen and Ink War made a daily Noise in either Kingdom, and this served to Exasperate the People in such a manner, one against another, that never have two Nations Run upon one another in such a manner, and come off without Blows.1 The Union of Scotland and England on 1 May 1707 was – and for some still is – undoubtedly contentious. Polemic and political pamphleteering flourished at the time, reflecting and fanning the debate, while the newssheets and jour- nals of the day provided lively opinion pieces and a good deal of propaganda. Recent commentators have recognised the importance of public discourse and public opinion regarding the Union on the way to the treaty. Leith Davis goes as far as to say that the ‘new British nation was constructed from the dialogue that took place regarding its potential existence’.2 While the treaty articles were still being debated by the last Scottish parlia- ment, Daniel Defoe, who had gone to Scotland specifically to promote the Union, began compiling his monumental History of the Union of Great Britain in Edinburgh.3 He expected to see it published before the end of 1707 although, for reasons that are still not entirely clear, it was not published until late 1709 or early 1710.4 As David Hayton notes, ‘a great deal of it must already have 1 Daniel Defoe, The History of the Union of Great Britain, D.

  • Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe @300 Grant Glass Over 300 Years
    Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe @300 Grant Glass Over 300 years ago, Daniel Defoe immortalized the story of Robinson Crusoe with the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe—creating long tradition of stories about being marooned in an inhospitable place understood as the Robinsonade genre. While the intimate details of Crusoe’s story might be unfamiliar, many of its adaptations like The Martian or Cast Away still persist. Those are just a few, if you look closely enough, there are religious, survivalist, social gospel, colonizationist and anti-colonial, martially masculine, feminist Robinsonades, in overlapping circles emanating out from this central text. The best estimates place these variants in the hundreds. Yet the original novel provides the reader with a gauntlet of historical baggage ranging from colonialism and slavery to climate change and industrialization—forcing us to confront not only our past, but how we represent it in the present. What, then, is Crusoe’s legacy at 300, and what do its retellings tell us about how we think of our past and our future? When you start to notice the Robinsonade, it appears everywhere, and you start to realize you cannot put the horse back in the stable when it comes to Crusoe. Long before the days of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Lena Dunham, Crusoe became an international phenomenon on the star power of its writer, Daniel Defoe, who much like a prolific Tweeter, “seemed to have strong opinions about everything, and wrote about almost everything in his world and his time,”1 with topics ranging from economics, politics and history to space travel.2 While Defoe wrote over 500 books, pamphlets, addresses and letters in his lifetime, Crusoe became his most well-known and well-read work.3 Crusoe was a major hit right from its first printing, it was so well received that Defoe quickly produced a sequel within only a few months after publication of the first.

  • 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.

  • John Darby and the Whig Canon
    JOHN DARBY AND THE WHIG CANON I A celebrated series of books by the English commonwealthmen of the seventeenth century was published between 1698 and 1700. The series included major editions of works by John Milton, Algernon Sidney, and James Harrington, and the civil war memoirs of Edmund Ludlow, Denzil Holles, John Berkeley, and Thomas Fairfax. Collectively these texts have become known as the ‘whig canon’.1 Over the following century this set of writings would profoundly shape the development of republican thought on both sides of the Atlantic.2 The texts of the whig canon would be cited approvingly by thinkers as diverse as Bolingbroke and the founding fathers of the American constitution.3 At their original moment of publication, however, the series was designed to bolster opposition to the consolidation of power by the court whigs under William III. By reasserting ‘true whig’ principles against the corruption of the apostates who made their peace with the court, these historic works were made to chime with the political challenges faced by the opposition in the present moment: attacking the maintenance of standing armies by the state, inveighing against priestcraft, and asserting the primacy of the ancient constitution. 1 Caroline Robbins, The eighteenth-century commonwealthman (Cambridge, MA, 1959), p. 32. 2 J.

  • Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World During the Age of Enlightenment1
    CSCH President’s Address 2012 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World during the Age of Enlightenment1 DARREN W. SCHMIDT The King’s University College My research stemming from doctoral studies is focused on English- speaking evangelical use, interpretation, and production of church history in the eighteenth century, during which religious revivals on both sides of the North Atlantic signalled new developments on many fronts. Church history was of vital importance for early evangelicals, in ways similar to earlier generations of Protestants beginning with the Reformation itself. In the eighteenth century nerves were still sensitive from the religious and political intrigues, polemic, and outright violence in the seventeenth- century British Isles and American colonies; terms such as “Puritan” and “enthusiast” maintained the baggage of suspicion. Presumed to be guilty by association, evangelical leaders were compelled to demonstrate that the perceived “surprising work of God” in their midst had a pedigree: they accordingly construed their experience as part of a long narrative of religious ebb and flow, declension and revival. Time and time again, eighteenth-century evangelicals turned to the pages of the past to vindicate and to validate their religious identity.2 Browsing through historiographical studies, one is hard-pressed to find discussion of eighteenth-century church historical writing. There is general scholarly agreement that the Protestant Reformation gave rise to a new historical interest. In answer to Catholic charges of novelty, Historical Papers 2012: Canadian Society of Church History 188 Church Historical Writing in the English Transatlantic World Protestants critiqued aspects of medieval Catholicism and sought to show their continuity with early Christianity.

    THE MOVEMENT FOR THE REFORMATION OF MANNERS, 1688-1715 ANDREW GORDON CRAIG 1980 (reset and digitally formatted 2015) PREFACE TO THE 2015 VERSION This study was completed in the pre-digital era and since then has been relatively inaccessible to researchers. To help rectify that, the 1980 typescript submitted for the degree of PhD from Edinburgh University has been reset and formatted in Microsoft “Word” and Arial 12pt as an easily readable font and then converted to a read-only PDF file for circulation. It is now more compact than the original typescript version and fully searchable. Some minor typographical errors have been corrected but no material published post-1980 has been added except in the postscript (see below). Pagination in the present version does not correspond to the original because of computerised resetting of the text. Footnotes in this version are consecutive throughout, rather than chapter by chapter as required in the 1980 version. The original bound copy is lodged in Edinburgh University Library. A PDF scan of it is available at https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk /bitstream/handle/1842/6840/254333.pdf A further hand-corrected copy is available together with my research archive in the Special Collections Department at St Andrews University Library. http://www.st- andrews.ac.uk/library/specialcollections/ A note for researchers interested in the movement for the reformation of manners 1688-1715 and afterwards has been added as a postscript which lists other studies which have utilised this work and its sources in various ways.

CREATING ECONOMY: MERCHANTS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND by BRAXTON HALL Under the Direction of Jacob Selwood, PhD ABSTRACT Between 1620 and 1700, merchants in England debated the economic framework of the kingdom. The system they created is commonly referred to as ‘mercantilism’ and many historians have concluded that there was a consensus among economists that supported the balance of trade and restricted foreign markets. While that economic consensus existed, merchants also had to adopt new ways of thinking about religion, foreigners, and naturalization because of the system they created. Merchants like Josiah Child in the latter part of the seventeenth century were more acceptant of strangers and they were more tolerant of religion that their predecessors
