Vickers, Ilse (University College London)
Ilse Vickers shows that the ideas and concepts of Baconian science were a major influence on Daniel Defoe's thinking and writing. She outlines the intellectual principles behind Baconian science, and considers a wide range of Defoe's work from the point of view of his familiarity with the ideals of experimental philosophy.
