Daniel Defoe was an astonishingly prolific author. His writings dealt with a wide range of issues: the position of the Nonconformists; the threat of Stuart absolutism; the rival claims of a militia and a standing army; international relations; the union with Scotland; finance, debt and credit; family morality, the reformation of manners and “politeness”; fictional narratives; criminal biographies; travel writing; general histories of trade and commerce. His genres included pamphlets, periodicals, didactic poetry, novels and lengthy monographs. Defoe's scope and diversity has hitherto prevented an adequate appreciation of his work.

520 $a Daniel Defoe was an astonishingly prolific author. His writings dealt with a wide range of issues: the position of the Nonconformists; the threat of Stuart absolutism; the rival claims of a militia and a standing army; international relations; the union with Scotland; finance, debt and credit; family morality, the reformation of manners and “politeness”; fictional narratives; criminal biographies; travel writing; general histories of trade and commerce. His genres included pamphlets, periodicals, didactic poetry, novels and lengthy monographs. Defoe's scope and diversity has hitherto prevented an adequate appreciation of his work.
520 $a This thesis attempts a coherent interpretation of the whole of Defoe's <italic> oeuvre</italic>. It is based on a close reading of all his major writings, excluding the fiction, and locates Defoe in the social, political and religious polemics of his day as reconstructed by recent scholarship. This is primarily an exercise in the history of ideas, and the methods employed are ones indebted to discourse analysis and contextual reconstruction as practiced by modernhistorians, especially students of political thought.
520 $a One result of this thesis is to identify Defoe as a seventeenth-century figure. It shows what was characteristic of Defoe's thought, rescuing him from his familiar role as a populariser of John Locke and revealing the continuing importance of his identity as a Trinitarian Dissenter. His historical scenario of human progress, his account of the rationale of trade and exchange, his vision of the development of letters were as much parts of his understanding of Biblical history as was his politics, his view of William III as a Biblical warrior-king and providential deliverer. England's evolution from a barbarous nation to a polite and commercial power represented the extension of Defoe's vision from its origins in Baconian science and seventeenth-century Dissent into the eighteenth-century world of “politeness” and Enlightenment historiography. This thesis, by illuminating Defoe's seventeenth-century origins, is able for the first time to show the ways in which he was a transitional figure, linking this old world with themes located by modern scholarship in the eighteenth century.
