Book excerpt: "A Vindication of the Press" by Daniel Defoe is one of the writer's most characteristic pamphlets. Though this text does not seem to have been occasioned by a specific situation, and in it Defoe is not alone concerned with freedom of the press, but writes on a more general and discursive level. Defoe is a stark defender of the press's ability to exercise its work and his words helped bring its oppression to the forefront.
