His writing style, blending realism with fiction, allowed readers to engage deeply with his characters' inner lives. This novel, along with his other works, significantly impacted the development of the English novel and storytelling.Throughout his life, Defoe continued writing novels, essays, and political pamphlets, often under pseudonyms.
