Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy. General scholarly opinion is that Defoe really did think of the Devil as a participant in world history. His view is that of an 18th-century Presbyterian - he blames the Devil for the Crusades and sees him as close to Europe's Catholic powers.
