West, Richard Daniel Defoe: The Life and Strange, Surprising Adventures
New York, New York, U.S.A. Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc. 2000 0786706767 / 9780786706761 Trade Paperback Fine
Unread copy - Purchased new at University Bookstore. Remainder mark on top. NO price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 427 pages. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - The many baffling, colorful facets of Daniel Defoe's person and career come into striking focus in this new biography by Richard West. Here is Defoe the tradesman, soldier, and spy, the journalist, novelist, satirist, newsman, and pamphleteer. Consistent only in his failure as a businessman, Defoe would never manage to provide adequately for his wife and their six children, neither in commerce nor by his undeniably prolific pen - a pen that in the year following Defoe's imprisonment, by West's estimate, wrote a half million words. That same year Defoe also founded a newspaper, The Review, for which he created such features as the lead story, the obituary, foreign news analysis, the gossip column, and the advice column. With a finesse and independence of spirit not unlike his subject's own, West unfolds his story of a maverick Defoe, a Puritan but no prude, a Dissenter without a constituency, a hack who never failed to pursue the truth and by the way also produced Moll Flanders, Roxana, A Journal of the Plague Year, and Robinson Crusoe.
