This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Defoe's oeuvre from the perspective of the historian. Clark presents Defoe by recovering the theological basis of his intellectual commitments, establishing him as a crucial figure in the evolution of theories about war and property, conquest and commerce, religious toleration and civil society.
