On the evening of 26th November 1703, a cyclone from the north
Atlantic hammered into southern Britain at over seventy miles an
hour, claiming the lives of over 8,000 people. Eyewitnesses
reported seeing cows left stranded in the branches of trees and
windmills ablaze from the friction of their whirling sails. For
Defoe, bankrupt and just released from prison for seditious
writings, the storm struck during one of his bleakest moments. But
it also furnished him with the material for his first book, and in
his powerful depiction of private suffering and individual survival
played out against a backdrop of public calamity we can trace the
outlines of his later masterpieces such as A Journal of the Plague
Year and Robinson Crusoe.
