“BENT UPON SEEING THE WORLD - I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family. My father designed me for the law. But I woudl be satisfied with nothing but going to sea, and to this my father would not give his consent...”
**Daniel Defoe**, born Daniel Foe, was an English writer, journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and is even referred to by some as among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than 500 books, pamphlets, and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism. ([Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Defoe))
