Daniel Defoe was a prolific writer (over 370 known publications) who could–and would–turn his hand to almost any topic; he has been called one of the greatest journalists and the father of journalism.To many of his contemporaries,he was a man who sold his pen to the political party in office and so lacking integrity.He was not taken seriously by literary men,though his skill at writing was acknowledged.Alexander Pope said of him,"The first part of Robinson Crusoe is very good–De Foe wrote a vast many things; and none bad,though none excellent,except this" (1742).
He was an outsider,being a Dissenter or Puritan,the son of a butcher,and a suspected government spy (this suspicion was confirmed in the nineteenth century).Jonathan Swift regarded him with contempt,"One of these Authors (the Fellow that was pilloryed,I have forgot his Name) is indeed so grave,sententious,dogmatical a Rogue,that there is no enduring him." At least part of Swift's attitude is snobbery; Defoe was not a gentleman born or raised though he aspired to be one and changed his name from Foe to Defoe and bought a coach with his coat of arms on its door.
For nearly seventy-five years,Defoe's reputation as a writer was in decline.But from 1780 to1830,a succession of biographies and editions of his works was published,and his literary star began to rise.As perceptive a critic as Coleridge appreciated his artistry.But Sir Walter Scott,though appreciative,raised the objection that Defoe lacked conscious artistry,"Defoe seems to have written too rapidly to pay the least attention to his circumstances; the incidents are huddled together like paving-stones discharged from a cart,and as little connexion between the one and the other." This objection continues to be raised.
Despite these favorable changes,Defoe had not yet achieved his current literary eminence.The revelation that he had been a government spy reinforced the earlier negative view of him,and some mid-19th century readers were shocked by the language and content of Moll Flanders and other novels with rogues as the main character.Despite these negative reactions,by 1860 the number of books and essays about him increased dramatically,and he was on the way to being acknowledged as one of the great eighteenth century writers.
He received widespread and consistent serious critical attention in the twentieth century,and his works have been subjected to modern interpretations,e.g.,Marxist,psychoanalytic,feminist,and poststructuralist.
