Throughout one of English history's most tumultuous periods, Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) took part in and reported on nearly every major poltiical, religious, and social controversy. Now in paperback, this biography offers an account of this remarkable life. Paula Backscheider reveals information about Defoe's secret career as a double agent, his daring business ventures, his dangerous pen and his cat-and-mouse games with those who sought to control it. This biography of one of 18th century England's most influential figures, and of a prolific and widely read author, was awarded the British Council Prize by the North American Conference on British Studies.
