Defoe began the 2003 – 04 season with West Ham but a refusal to sign a new contract and disciplinary problems, including three sending offs, which saw him play only 22 games out of a possible 34, led to West Ham accepting an offer from Tottenham Hotspur for him in the January transfer window.

Of particular importance to the development of the genre was that the Gothic writers used novelistic techniques and love, such as Defoe was using, rather than the literary style of the romance, and also began to use the landscape for purposes of expressing the characters ' moods.

In an early passage of A Journal of the Plague Year Daniel Defoe mentions " merry andrews " while describing the effects of the plague on London society: " All the plays and interludes which, after the manner of the French Court, had been set up, and began to increase among us, were forbid to act ; the gaming-tables, public dancing-rooms, and music-houses, which multiplied and began to debauch the manners of the people, were shut up and suppressed ; and the jack-puddings, merry-andrews, puppet-shows, rope-dancers, and such-like doings, which had bewitched the poor common people, shut up their shops, finding indeed no trade ; for the minds of the people were agitated with other things, and a kind of sadness and horror at these things sat upon the countenances even of the common people.

The 2005 – 06 season started as the previous one had ended, with Defoe being preferred to partner Mido in Tottenham's strikeforce.

Due to appearances in Tottenham's third and fourth round ties Defoe found himself cup-tied for all the subsequent matches of Pompey's successful FA Cup 2007-08 campaign.

As Daniel Defoe observed in 1697, " Now it is frequent to have armies of 50, 000 men of a side spend the whole campaign in dodging – or, as it is genteelly called – observing one another, and then march off into winter quarters.

Defoe however insisted that he would stay at Tottenham and fight for his place, saying " I'm really excited about the new season and the prospect of another campaign in Europe.

Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain, and, along with others such as Richardson, is among the founders of the English novel.

Daniel Defoe commented: " Unless the Spaniards are to be divested of common sense, infatuate, and given up, abandoning their own commerce, throwing away the only valuable stake they have left in the world, and in short, bent on their own ruin, we cannot suggest that they will ever, on any consideration, or for any equivalent, part with so valuable, indeed so inestimable a jewel, as the exclusive trade to their own plantations ".

Daniel Defoe enlivens this account of the Waveney's Broads course: The River Waveney is a considerable river, and of a deep and full channel, navigable for large barges as high as Beccles ; it runs for a course of about fifty miles, between the two counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, as a boundary to both ; and pushing on, tho ' with a gentle stream, towards the sea, no one would doubt, but, that when they see the river growing broader and deeper, and going directly towards the sea, even to the edge of the beach ; that is to say, within a mile of the main ocean ; no stranger, I say, but would expect to see its entrance into the sea at that place, and a noble harbour for ships at the mouth of it ; when on a sudden, the land rising high by the sea-side, crosses the head of the river, like a dam, checks the whole course of it, and it returns, bending its course west, for two miles, or thereabouts ; and then turning north, thro ' another long course of meadows ( joining to those just now mention'd ) seeks out the River Yare, that it may join its water with hers, and find their way to the sea together.
