Descripción: After more than two hundred years the reputation of Daniel Defoe has become solidly entrenched in the history of English literature. No respectable anthology of eighteenth century writing would omit mention of this considerable name, and at least a fragment of either ‘Robinson Crusoe’ or ‘A Journal of the Plague Year’. Discussion of the development of the English novel generally begins with the name of Defoe: He is seen as being either the father, or as being the vital link connecting the earlier moral fable and the modern complex novel. In either case, his name and his work assume the significance of a central pivot in the history of the narrative.
