Daniel Defoe (1660–1731) was an English writer, journalist, and spy who played a pivotal role in shaping literature during the early 18th century with his prolific output and innovative narrative styles. Defoe is best known for his enduring novel 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719), which is often credited with marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. His literary career extended far beyond this seminal work; he authored more than three hundred works, including novels, pamphlets, and journals. One noteworthy novel that illustrates his narrative dexterity is 'Colonel Jack' (1722), which follows the life of an orphan who becomes a gentleman after a series of adventures and misadventures. The novel is a study of self-improvement and moral development, deftly showcasing Defoe's fascination with the societal undercurrents of his time. His literary style is marked by vivid first-person narration, which gives a sense of authenticity to his characters and their experiences. Defoe's works are a reflection of the complexities of 18th-century society, engaging with themes such as economics, religion, and the human condition. His influence extends to modern narratives, where his techniques of character development and plot construction are still revered. Defoe's legacy persists as a founding figure in the development of the English novel.
