Meer oor die skrywer
Daniel Defoe, born around 1660 in London, England, is recognized as one of the early proponents of the English novel. Defoe embarked on a diverse array of vocations, including merchant, soldier, and political agent before turning to writing. Often lauded for his seminal work 'Robinson Crusoe', Defoe's prolific output extends to over 300 works ranging from satirical poems, economic writings, to journalistic pieces. A lesser-known yet significant work is 'The Storm, An Essay,' where Defoe employs a reportage style to detail the catastrophic storm that struck England in 1703, showcasing his concern with natural phenomena and their impact on human society. His literary style is marked by realistic narrative voices and detailed settings, shaped by his keen observations of contemporary life. Defoe's utilization of fiction to explore morals, society, and the human condition dovetails with the Enlightenment ideals of his time, positioning him as a crucial figure in the evolution of the English novel. His works continue to be studied for their literary innovation and social commentary, offering insights into the socio-economic climate of early 18th-century Britain.
