Summary

A novel which takes the pursuit of authenticity - the standard of all Defoe's novels - to its limits. So successfully did this novel mimic the voice of the 17th-century soldier of fortune, that for over half a century the memoirs were thought to be genuine. The text is that of the edition of 1720.

Memoirs of a Cavalier Summary

Memoirs of a Cavalier by Daniel Defoe

Daniel Defoe's great talent as a writer was to speak in the voices of others. Such was the authenticity of this memoir of a 17th-century soldier of fortune that for over half a century it was considered to be genuine. The struggle of the narrator to turn his observations into facts and to make certain history out of his uncertain experiences combines with vivid descriptions of the battles of the Civil War to give the narrative its dramatic qualities.
