When Defoe published The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of
Robinson Crusoe and The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe in
1719, he could not have imagined that Crusoe, Friday, and a
footprint in the sand would enjoy global recognition 300 years
later. Why-and how-does Crusoe's story resonate today? There is no
shortage of explanations for the longevity of Defoe's creation,
which has been interpreted as both religious allegory and frontier
myth, with Crusoe seen as an example of the self-sufficient
adventurer and the archetypal colonizer and capitalist. Defoe's
original has been reimagined multiple times in legions of
Robinsonade or castaway stories. But there is still much more to
say-the Crusoe myth is far from spent. This wide-ranging collection
brings together eleven scholars who suggest new and unfamiliar ways
of thinking about this most familiar of works, and who ask us to
consider the enduring appeal of 'Crusoe,' more recognizable today
than ever before.
