Published in the first series of English Men of Letters in 1879, a
time when a complete edition of Daniel Defoe's works was yet to be
collated, this biograhical account by William Minto (1845 93) was a
significant achievement in literary scholarship as well as an
engaging portrait of a colourful and outspoken polemicist. Himself
a journalist and essayist for the pioneering Pall Mall Gazette and
the Daily News, Minto combines the critical insight of a literary
scholar with the empathy and understanding of a fellow writer.
Spanning the novelist's entire life (c. 1659 1731), from the
passions of his youth to the publication of Robinson Crusoe, his
'later journalistic labours' and the impact of literary success,
this biography tells how Defoe disproved the rule that the lives of
men of letters are rarely eventful.
