  **About Defoe:**  
  
  
  Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist and spy, who
  
  
  gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is
  
  
  notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel
  
  
  and helped popularize the genre in Britain. In some texts he is
  
  
  even referred to as one of the founders, if not the founder, of the
  
  
  English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote over five
  
  
  hundred books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics (including
  
  
  politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the
  
  
  supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism.
