EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from The Gallery of Portraits Vol. VII, by Charles Knight (London, 1837) immortalizes the remarkable Daniel Defoe (1661-1731), an influential English author, satirist, and adventurer. Known for his groundbreaking novels Robinson Crusoe (1719), Journal of the Plague Year (1722), and Moll Flanders (1722), Defoe left an indelible mark on literature. In this print, we see a dignified depiction of Defoe that captures his intellectual prowess and adventurous spirit. His piercing gaze reflects a mind brimming with creativity and imagination. As one of Britain's most celebrated authors, he crafted stories that continue to captivate readers across generations. Robinson Crusoe stands as Defoe's magnum opus—an enthralling tale chronicling the survival and resilience of its eponymous protagonist stranded on a deserted island. Journal of the Plague Year offers a hauntingly vivid account of London during the devastating bubonic plague outbreak in 1665. Meanwhile, Moll Flanders delves into themes of morality and redemption through the life story of its audacious titular character. Defoe's literary contributions transcend time; they remain cherished classics that have shaped not only British literature but also our understanding of human nature itself. This engraving serves as a testament to his enduring legacy—a reminder that even centuries after his passing, his works continue to inspire and provoke thought.
