This author wrote a satirical pamphlet from the point of view of a Church of England official, asking for complete suppression of Non-Conformists in The Shortest Way with the Dissenters. The title character of one of his novels accidentally marries her own half-brother in Virginia, after being released from Newgate Prison for being pregnant. The protagonist of another of his novels founds a plantation in Brazil, after escaping from a Moor who enslaved him. That character, based on Alexander Selkirk, is shipwrecked in a later journey, which sees him rescue a native from cannibals, whom he dubs Friday. For 10 points, name this author of Moll Flanders and Robinson Crusoe.
