This study of the long and varied afterlife of Defoe's Robinson
Crusoe, primarily in the overlapping arenas of children's and
popular culture, offers new insights into not only the continued
popularity and relevance of Crusoe's story, but into how modern
conceptions of childhood have been shaped by nostalgia and by ideas
of 'the popular.' Because it enjoyed such tremendous success as a
pedagogical work for children and as a source for children's and
popular entertainments, Robinson Crusoe provides a unique case
study in the development of our ideas of childhood and the points
of intersection between children's and popular cultures. Drawing on
a wide range of adaptations and remediations, including children's
abridgements, print 'robinsonades, ' chapbooks, popular songs,
pantomimes, toys, games, and various consumer items, this book
offers a fresh consideration of the place Crusoe has occupied in
our culture for almost three centuries.
