He attended Charles Morton’s dissenting academy in Newington Green before establishing himself as a hosier and general merchant in Cornhill, and married Mary Tuffley in 􀀎􀀏􀀔􀀕 . A year later he joined the Duke of Monmouth’s disastrous rebellion against James II, and was lucky to escape the ‘Bloody Assizes’ following Monmouth’s defeat at Sedgemoor. Persistent overinvestment precipitated his bankruptcy in 􀀎􀀏􀀖􀀗 , after which he turned to writing.  \nDefoe’s first great success came with his satirical poem The TrueBorn Englishman (􀀎􀀑􀀐􀀎) . The Shortest Way with the Dissenters (􀀎􀀑􀀐􀀗), an audacious parody of High Anglican extremism, brought him a charge of seditious libel and he was briefly imprisoned. Defoe was employed by successive ministries as a polemicist until about 􀀎􀀑􀀎􀀑 , and continued to write prolifically thereafter in a range of fields including politics, economics, and religion.  \nBetween 􀀎􀀑􀀎􀀖 and 􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀕, Defoe produced the pioneering fictional narratives on which his reputation has come to rest. The first part of Robinson Crusoe was published on 􀀗􀀘 April 􀀎􀀑􀀎􀀖 , with a sequel in August. A third part, Serious Reflections, followed in 􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀐 , in which year Memoirs of a Cavalier and Captain Singleton were also published. Moll Flanders, Colonel Jack, andA Journal of the Plague Year appeared in 􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀗 and Roxana in 􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀕, to be followed by further major works of non-fiction, including A Tour thro’ the Whole Island of Great Britain (􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀕–􀀏) and The Complete English Tradesman (􀀎􀀑􀀗􀀘–􀀑) . Defoe died following a stroke on 􀀗􀀕 April 􀀎􀀑􀀒􀀎 while in hiding from a persistent creditor. He is buried in Bunhill Fields.  \nT􀀙􀀁􀀚􀀊􀀈 K􀀍􀀛􀀚􀀍􀀄 is Chancellor Jackman Professor of English atthe University of Toronto and a Supernumerary Fellow of St Anne’s College, Oxford.
