Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe (om 1660 hinne - 24 april 1731) wie in Ingelsk skriuwer, sjoernalist, keapman en spion en wurdt wol beskôge as ien fan de grûnlizzers, sa net de grûnlizzer fan de Ingelske roman. Hy is benammen bekend wurden troch syn boek Robinson Crusoe (1719) oer in man dy't oanspield is op in ûnbewenne eilân. Syn hiele oeuvre omfettet mear as 350 titels.

 Biografy 
Daniel Defoe waard berne as Daniel Foe, nei alle gedachten yn Cripplegate yn Londen, mar wis is dat net. Letter heake er sels it eptige de oan syn namme ta. 
Defoe wie in ferneamd skriuwer fan politike fluchskriften, sjoernalistike artikels en romans.

Defoe syn âlden wienen ôfskieden Presbyterianen. Hy krige ûnderrjocht yn de ôfskieden akadeemje fan Stoke Newington. Doe't er fan skoalle ôf wie gie er yn saken, mar dêr hie er net folle slach fan dat hy wie nei in oantal jierren bankerot. Yn 1684 boaske er mei Mary Tuffley; sy krigen acht bern.

Fanwege syn pamfletten en politike aktiviteiten waard er yn 1703 fêstset en oan de skandepeal set, mar troch de politikus Robert Harley, 1e Greve fan Oxford en Mortimer (1661-1724), wer frijlitten yn ruil foar tsjinsten as geheim agint.

Defoe waard ferneamd troch syn boek ‘It libben en de wûnderlike aventoeren fan Robinson Crusoe’ (1719), mar hy skreau ek ‘The Storm’ (1704) oer de ‘Grutte Stoarm’ fan 26-27 novimber 1703 dêr't benammen yn Londen en Bristol in soad skea troch ûntstie en 8000 minsken it libben troch ferlearen. Robinson Crusoe giet oer de aventoeren fan in man dy't stykjen bleaun is op in ûnbewenne eilân.

In stúdzje fan reisboekeskriuwer Tim Severin (july 2002) soe bliken dwaan dat in Ingelske dokter, dy't fanwege rebûlje tsjin kening Jakobus II nei de Kariben ferbanne wie, de skriuwer de nedige ynspiraasje jûn hie. It boek hat ommers tal fan bysûnderheden út in yn 1689 ferskynd ferhaal fan dokter Henry Pitman. Ek it idee foar de figuer fan de lânseigen 'Freed' soe dêr't fuortkaam wêze.

Daniel Defoe stoar op 24 april 1731 en kaam te hôf yn Bunhill Fields yn Londen.
