Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe was an English writer renowned for his novel Robinson Crusoe, which was first published in 1719 and has been translated more than any other book aside from the Bible. Besides his writing career, Defoe was also recognized for his roles as a trader, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy. Throughout his career, he authored over three hundred works, including pamphlets and journals. Defoe is regarded as a pioneer in business and economic journalism. He passed away in April 1731, and many believe he was in hiding from his creditors at that time.

Daniel Defoe became a published novelist in 1627 with the novel The Complete English Tradesman. Below is a list of Daniel Defoe's books in order of when they were originally released:
