The rapidly changing economic and political circumstances in England helped create a vibrant middle class that was mercantilist, protestant, desirous of political power, and hungry for cultural life. Defoe was born into such a middle class family, the son of a fairly wealthy tallow chandler. He received an excellent education and lived a varied and eventful life. He worked, often at the same time, as a spy, hosier, journalist, political pamphleteer, and businessman. Defoe, however, is best remembered for his literary work. Regarded by many as the father of the English novel, Defoe published his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eRobinson Crusoe\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1719. Three years later he cemented his reputation with the novel \u003ci\u003eMoll Flanders\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JUSAGROOVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115636834544,"sku":"2940170189311","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170189311_p0.jpg?v=1763704281","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170189311","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
