EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1870 depicts the Anglican writer Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) enduring a moment of immense disgrace and humiliation. In 1703, Defoe found himself pilloried for daring to write against the intolerance exhibited by the Anglican church during that time. The image showcases the violence and persecution faced by individuals who dared to challenge religious authority in 18th century England. The artist, Stefano Bianchetti, skillfully captures the essence of this historical event, portraying Defoe's anguish as he stands confined within the pillory. His face reflects both defiance and resilience in the face of adversity. This powerful visual representation serves as a reminder of the struggles endured by those who fought for freedom of expression and religious tolerance. Defoe's courageous act not only challenged societal norms but also paved the way for future writers to voice their dissenting opinions without fear of retribution. This engraving is a testament to his unwavering commitment to truth and justice. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in British history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at great personal cost, but it is through these acts of resistance that societies evolve towards greater inclusivity and acceptance.
