Daniel Defoe, the pamphleteer

This probably just shows my ignorance... Never knew the word pamphleteer existed!


From Wikipedia:
'A pamphleteer is a historical term for someone who creates or distributes pamphlets. Pamphlets were used to broadcast the writer's opinions on an issue, for example, in order to get people to vote for their favorite politician or to articulate a particular political ideology.'
