«Die Schmähschrift oder Königin gegen Defoe» is the historical narrative by Stefan Heym, published by Reclam, Leipzig in paperback (80 pages, in German).
The work is presented as a narrative based on the notes of Josiah Creech, a character who records the confrontation between Daniel Defoe and the queen. Stefan Heym combines historical narration with political satire to recreate the atmosphere of an eighteenth-century trial, with power and freedom of expression as the backdrop.
The full subtitle reads «erzählt nach den Aufzeichnungen eines gewissen Josiah Creech»; the German version comes from a translation from English made by Stefan Heym himself.
For readers of historical fiction and political satire interested in the eighteenth century and in the figure of Daniel Defoe.
