Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The young Daniel Defoe thought he was destined to become a Presbyterian minister. Instead he became a man of letters: poet, political journalist, economic essayist, novelist. In his Essay on the Original of Literature of 1726, Defoe argues for the sacred Hebrew origins of modern writing--or, as he puts it, that 'Power to make the Paper speak.' The work stands out as a writer's bold glorification of the craft of literature, radically understood.

Rated by buyers -
The "Original of Literature" provides a historical perspective on the art of writing by explaining its roots in the sacred Hebrew writings. Defoe calls for a renewal and resurgance for the skillful craft of literature. Any serious student of literature and religion will find Defoe's book eye-opening and informative.
