Early life
Daniel Foe (his original name) was probably born in the parish教区of St. Giles Cripplegate, London. Defoe later added the aristocratic-sounding "De" to his name and on occasion claimed descent from the family of De Beau Faux. The date and the place of his birth are uncertain, with sources often giving dates of anywhere between 1659 to 1661.
His father, James Foe, a member of the Butchers' Company, was a prosperous兴盛的tallow chandler蜡烛制造者. In Defoe's early life he experienced first-hand some of the most unusual occurrences大事in English history: in 1665, 70,000 were killed by the Great Plague of London. The Great Fire of London (1666) left standing only Defoe's and two other homes in his neighborhood. In 1667, when Defoe was probably about seven years old, a Dutch荷兰人fleet舰队sailed up the Medway via the River Thames and attacked Chatham. By the time he was about 10, Defoe's mother Annie had died.
His parents were Presbyterian dissenters反对者; he was educated in a dissenting academy at Newington Green run by Charles Morton and is believed to have attended the church there. During this period, England was not tolerant of all forms of religious belief. Roman Catholics were feared and hated. Dissenters refused to conform to the services of the Church of England; they were despised受轻视的and oppressed受压制的.
