Throughout one of English history's most tumultuous periods, Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) took part in and reported on nearly every major political, religious, and social controversy. This widely acclaimed biography offers a fascinating account of Defoe's remarkable life. Paula Backscheider reveals new information about Defoe's secret career as a double agent, his daring business ventures, his dangerous pen—and his cat-and-mouse games with those who sought to control it. This is the definitive biography of one of eighteenth-century England's most influential figures—and one of the most prolific and widely read authors of all time

I would actually give this 0 stars!!
What a poor excuse for a biography! I was interested in reading this to hear about George Orwell 's wife and her relationship with him.
The marriage was short since when Sonia married him he was already dying of tuberculosis -- but the author, who claims to have been a good friend of Sonia Orwell's (and might have known a lot of information) glosses over the marriagee in about half a page.
Similarly, the author points out that she wrote the book to defend Sonia -- who had a reputation for fighting with the Orwell Foundation trustees to get money. However, this part is dealt with in 2 paragraphs -- with little information to back up her statements.
just hope that if you need your biography written that Spurling does not write it!!
