    Daniel Defoe has been called 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 a Puritan, the son of a butcher, and a suspected government spy (this suspicion was confirmed in the nineteenth century). 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.

    Attention in the twentieth century, and his works have been subjected to modern interpretations, e.g., Marxist, psychoanalytic, feminist, and postcturalist.

    With six printings in four months, Robinson Crusoe was a popular and financial success in 1719. Because of Robinson Crusoe "s success and of its universal appeal, the novel continued to be published for over two centuries. It has been packaged as a picture book with little or no text; this degradation was consistent with a tendency to view it as a children "s book, a fate it shared with Gulliver" s Travels.

    Robinson Crusoe has made a profound impression on readers as well as on whole cultures. Samuel Johnson, a demanding critic, gave it the highest praise, "Was there ever yet any thing written by mere man that was wished longer by its readers, excepting Don Quixote, Robinson Crusoe, and the Pilgrim" s Progress? "(1776) ...

    Teaches all that books can teach. According to John Robert Moore, Crusoe created not only a new literary form (the novel), but also a new reading public.

    The thrill of adventure lures us into identifying with Crusoe and his triumph over mishaps, particularly since the specific details of Defoe "s portrayal make his experiences real for us. English readers often see Crusoe as the typical Englishman – manly, self-reliant, courageous , heroic, and resourceful. This narrow chauvinistic response excludes all non-English readers, yet Crusoe transcends national, religious, and cultural boundaries.

    Representative of humanity in general; neither his intellectual nor his moral qualities set him above the middle degree of mankind .... "He is" the universal representative, the person for whom every reader could substitute himself. Industrialization has cut off modern men from simple tasks; we no longer know the whole process of basic activities, like growing wheat, milling flour, and baking bread. This was true in Defoe "s time also. So the details of Crusoe" s everyday life fascinate us, as we watch him recreate civilization alone.

    Inescapable solitariness of each man in his relation to God and the universe. “In writing Crusoe, Defoe created a character who speaks to something deep in the human psyche and essential to the human condition.

    Crusoe can be assimilated into diverse cultures, that the meanings assigned him change to reflect changes in a society, that he can be given conflicting meanings, and that he reaches into the private souls of individuals. It is these qualities that make Crusoe a mythic or an archetypal figure.

    Myth: Myth originates in the effort of primitive people to explain some practice, belief, institution, or natural happening. Myths are anonymous and accepted as true. "Broadly speaking myths and mythologies seek to rationalize and explain the universe and all that is in it. Thus, they have a similar function to science, theology, religion and history in modern societies" (Bernard Doyle, Encyclopedia Mythica).

    Who sets the pattern for similar beings for example, Frankenstein (monster) or Hercules (hero). (2) A basic concept in Jungian psychology, the archetype is a pattern of thought or an image which is passed down from one generation to the other, a process which Jung called the "psychic residua of numberless experiences of the same type." The collective unconscious thus holds the same images as humanity "s primitive ancestors, like the good mother, the wise man, the magician, the vampire, and the monster Archetypes appear in myths, religion, literature, art, and fairy tales of most societies . Common archetypes are the death-rebirth motif, going to the sea, the fatal woman, Cinderella-stories, and the sacrificial hero or god.

In his twenties, Daniel Dafoe joined the army of the Duke of Monmouth, who rebelled against his uncle, Jacob Stuart, who pursued a pro-French policy during his reign. Jacob suppressed the uprising and severely dealt with the rebels. Daniel Defoe had to hide from persecution. With the onset of more favorable times, that is, with the accession to the throne of William of Orange, Defoe returned to literary activity. When the people began to grumble that a stranger had been placed on the throne, Daniel Defoe wrote a satirical poem "The True English", in which he showed that the entire English nation consists of a mixture of different tribes, and therefore it is ridiculous to look with hostility at a king who is impeccable in all respects just because he was not born in England, but in Holland. This poem made a lot of noise at court and in society. Wilhelm wished to see the author and gave him a rather significant monetary gift.

Report about Daniel Defoe Byreva Alexandra 5 "B"

Daniel Defoe is an English writer who wrote the well-known work "Robinson Crusoe". Born in 1660 in London in the family of a meat merchant.

Daniel Defoe's parents

Daniel Defoe studied at the Fisher School in Dorking, then at the Morton Academy in Stoke Newington. In 1681 he began to write a variety of poetry, but then went into commercial activities.

Daniel Defoe traveled extensively in Western Europe, and for some time traded in Spain. It is known that until 1685 on the way between Harwich and Holland, he was captured by Algerian pirates, but then he was allegedly ransomed.

In good 1684 he married Mary Tuffley. They had 8 children. Later, his wife brought a dowry of £ 3,700, and thanks to this, he was considered a wealthy man, but in 1692 his wife's dowry and his own savings were spent. From such a commercial failure, which happened due to the fact that Defoe had the imprudence to subscribe to the naval insurance obligations for the period of the war with France, he never managed to recover. Daniel Defoe died in 1731.

The works of Daniel Dafoe: 1. Robinson Crusoe 2. Moll Flanders 3. Diary of the Plague Year 4. The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe 5. The Happy Courtesan, or Roxanne 6. The Story of Colonel Jack 7. The Life and Pirate Adventures of the Glorious Captain Singleton 8. Exmo

Daniel Defoe. Aphorisms
It's never too late to get smart.
There is something comforting in every position if you look well.
A good counselor can bring a person back to life, he instills courage in the weak-minded and awakens in the human mind the ability to do the right thing.
In moments of hesitation, boldly follow the suggestion of your inner voice, if you hear it, at least, apart from this voice, nothing prompted you to do as it advises you.
What ridiculous decisions a person does not come to under the influence of fear! Fear takes away from us the ability to dispose of the means that the mind offers us to help.
A person does not have enough wisdom to calm down on what has been achieved.
The highest degree of human wisdom is the ability to adapt to circumstances and remain calm despite external thunderstorms.
Fear is an illness that relaxes the soul, just as a physical illness relaxes the body.
Bankruptcy
Defoe married Mary in 1684
Taffley
who bore him eight children. The wife also brought a dowry of £ 3,700.
For some time Defoe could be considered a relatively wealthy man, but in 1692 both his wife's dowry and his own savings were swallowed up by bankruptcy, which cost 17 thousand pounds.

Robinson novel
Not everyone knows that the story of the life of Robinson Crusoe has turned into a literary epic, consisting of three parts.
In the second part (1720), titled "The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" and received by the public much more coolly, the hero once again sets off on his wanderings: he visits his beloved island, makes a trip around the world, at the end of which he finds himself in distant and mysterious Russia.
The third part of the epic, entitled "Serious Reflections Throughout Life and the Wonderful Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Including His Visions of the Angelic World" (1721), is not entirely a work of fiction, but rather an essay on socio-philosophical and religious themes.

Biography

Born in about 1660 near the English capital, in Cripplegate. His father, a meat merchant, prepared him for the career of a Presbyterian pastor and sent him to the seminary, Morton Academy in Stoke Newington, where his son studied classical literature, as well as Latin and Greek. However, Defoe Jr. was attracted by a completely different path - commercial activity, trade.

    Difficult years

    About twenty years old, Daniel Dafoe joined the army of the Duke of Monmouth, who rebelled against his uncle, Jacob Stuart, who pursued a pro-French policy during his reign. Jacob suppressed the uprising and severely dealt with the rebels. Daniel Defoe had to hide from persecution. With the onset of more favorable times, that is, with the accession to the throne of William of Orange, Defoe returned to literary activity.

    Creation

    After his release from prison, Daniel Defoe publishes Robinson Crusoe. This book was published in 1719. Defoe himself traveled only once: in his youth, he sailed to Portugal, and the rest of the time he lived in his homeland. But the writer took the plot of the novel from life. Residents of England at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries could repeatedly hear from sailors stories about people who lived for more or less a long time on various uninhabited islands.

    Slide 7

    Encouraged by the tremendous success of "Robinson", Daniel Defoe wrote many other works in the same spirit: "The Sea Robber", "Colonel Jack", "Journey Around the World", "The Political History of the Devil" and others. Defoe wrote over two hundred books and brochures that were popular with his contemporaries.

    Slide 8

    Moll Flanders

    The novel tells the story of a poor girl who was born in Newgate prison and during six decades of her varied life (not counting childhood) was a kept woman for twelve years, married five times (one of them to her brother), twelve years a thief, eight years exiled in Virginia, but in the end she became rich, began to live honestly and died in repentance.

    Slide 9

    Roxanne

    Roxanne, published in 1724, Defoe's last and darkest novel, tells in the form of an autobiography the story of a woman who sold herself first to survive, and then for fame and money. Roxanne, an intelligent, cunning, inventive swindler, is extremely sober and sensible in her analysis of her actions and pronounced traits of her character that helped her to succeed in her "adventures". From this very detailed story about the goals and ways of Roxanne, we learn about how she seduced others with dexterous manipulations, and in the end she herself was seduced, becoming dependent on money and fame.

    Robinson Crusoe

    The full title of the work sounds like “Life, Extraordinary and Amazing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a sailor from York, who lived for 28 years all alone on an uninhabited island off the coast of America near the mouth of the Orinoco River, where he was thrown by a shipwreck, during which the entire crew of the ship except him died, outlining his unexpected release by pirates; written by himself. " This book gave rise to the classic English novel and spawned a fashion for pseudo-documentary fiction; it is often called the first "genuine" novel in English.

    Slide 11

    But despite this, he, like other talents, lived and died in need in London. Defoe's early biographers say that the tombstone installed on his grave in the 18th century bore a modest but significant inscription: "Daniel Defoe is the author of Robinson Crusoe." He died on April 24, 1731, at the age of 70 ”.

    Slide 12

    As for the literary significance of Defoe, in this respect he can be safely considered the predecessor of Richardson and Fielding and the founder of that literary school that reached its peak in England under Dickens and Thackeray.
