Title of the paper:
Daniel
Defoe and the modern novel
Author or topic: Daniel
Defoe
Abstract or summary
of the research:
I have chosen Daniel
Defoe because he is one of the writers who begins in a realistic way. Before
his period the novel is not defined as a gender. The novels Defoe wrote
were novels in the sense of modern novels in which the author writes about
his real and individual experiences. That is to say that the novels are
not based on history or legends but on stories about concrete people.
Defoe learnt the style of the realistic
novel through his profession which was journalism. An example of his realistic
novel is Robinson Crusoe which was published in 1719. This novel was so
popular that some other novels about Crusoe were written.
