Daniel Defoe died 250 years ago. His best-known book,
Robinson Crusoe , was published in 1719. Its ' homely plain style ' and racy narrative made the book an immediate success and other novels followed.
But Defoe's novels were written only in old age after a varied life as a soldier, businessman, spy and satirical pamphleteer. Frank Delaney examines his literary career with Pat Rogers and Juliet Mitchell.
Producer ALASTAIR WILSON
Ultimately God gives us weapons that are even more powerful than guns.
