The book is a study of the eighteenth-century English robinsonade,
also known as desert island or castaway narrative. It discusses the
pre-history of the genre, the complex multi-level semantics of
"Robinson Crusoe", its role in introducing a new mode of meaning
formation combining the conventions of the travel narrative,
Providence book, and spiritual autobiography, as well as its
functioning as a genre model for later authors. Another important
subject is the subsequent process of robinsonade's simplification
by the gradual elimination of religious meanings and foregrounding
the exciting adventures of the protagonists, turning it into a
genre of children's literature.
