Daniel Defoe Pilloried |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| For publishing the pamphlet The Shortest Way with the Dissenters (1703), English novelist and journalist Daniel Defoe was placed in the pillory, where an English mob could torment him. Defoe’s pamphlet satirized the intolerance of the Church of England toward Dissenters—Protestants who refused to accept the authority of England’s established church—at that time. | ||||||
