“It is never too late to be wise.”

– Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

Daniel Defoe was an English author who gained enduring fame for his novel, Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest practitioners of the novel and helped popularize the genre in Britain. In some texts he is even referred to as one of the founders, if not the founder, of the English novel.

While Robinson Crusoe is his best and most iconic work, he wrote numerous other works including an interesting collection of discourses on marriage. “Religious Courtship” (1722) was written to instruct men and women seeking a spouse on the importance of marrying someone who shares their religious beliefs. It also includes a section on how to appropriately manage servants and advising against hiring non-religious servants.
