"The Life of Mr. Richard Savage" by Mr. Beckingham and Daniel Defoe is a historical account written in the early 18th century. This book delves into the life of the unfortunate poet Richard Savage, detailing his struggles, misfortunes, and the tumultuous circumstances leading to his trial for murder. The narrative explores themes of illegitimacy, familial rejection, and resilience amidst adversity. The book recounts Savage's tragic beginnings, starting with the scandal surrounding his birth, as the illegitimate son of a noblewoman, which set the stage for a life filled with hardship and societal scorn. The narrative captures Savage's attempts to navigate life as a poet in a world that frequently derides such pursuits, alongside details of his friendships, aspirations, and the events that culminated in the fatal incident leading to his trial for murder. Following a dispute in a coffeehouse, Savage finds himself entangled in a life-altering legal battle where his character is put to the test, ultimately offering a profound reflection on the nature of fortune and the human spirit in the face of relentless calamity.
