Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe inspiration for one of my favourite childhood novels was rescued on #ThisDayInHistory in 1709. Scottish sailor #AlexanderSelkirk spent more than four years living alone on an island in the #SouthPacific. His ordeal inspired #RobinsonCrusoe by #DanielDefoe, published in 1719.

Donald Roy#ukpolitics It was assumed a year or two ago that #uklabour had become a highly disciplined party which had 'the shortest way with dissenters' - to quote #danieldefoe ! This view has been reinforced by books cataloguing the summary treatment of #jeremycorbyn and many others lesser known. However this is not easy to reconcile with the difficulties #uklabour has had in the #houseofcommons more recently and the series of changes to government policy that have ensued.

Historical novel by Daniel Defoe
First published 1722
Unlike the massive volume of Robinson Crusoe, AJOFPY is a length accessible to the modern reader. It tells of the author’s experiences during the Great Visitation of 1665, when bubonic plague struck the city of London. A grim picture of life during an epidemic and the gamble the right is taking with our lives.
Defoe was a brilliant writer, one of the first people to write proto-novels in the West. The book doesn’t read like a journalist exposé but as a story set in one of the worst of times.
And no need to pay Amazon for the privilege of reading it. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/376

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Writing History May 21, 1703: The authorities imprisoned writer Daniel Defoe for seditious libel. Defoe was most famous for his novels Robinson Crusoe, published in 1719, and Moll Flanders (1722). However, he also wrote political pamphlets, including The Shortest Way with the Dissenters, which satirized how Tories handled religious dissenters by proposing that they all be exterminated. As a result, the authorities arrested and imprisoned him for seditious libel.
