1660 or so to 1730 are his dates!. I would say that Defoe was after the Renaissance in England!. It was a time of developing nationalism and the rise of the middle class!. Exploration and exploitation of the world!. Modern science and modern philosophy were being created: Newton and Descartes!. Many people would tell tell you that Defoe was the first novelist and the Robinson Caruso is a model of 'economic man'Www@QuestionHome@Com
