An instant success in its own time, Daniel Defoe's The Adventures
of Robinson Crusoe has for three centuries drawn readers to its
archetypal hero, the man surviving alone on an island. This
Companion begins by studying the eighteenth-century literary,
historical and cultural contexts of Defoe's novel, exploring the
reasons for its immense popularity in Britain and in its colonies
in America and in the wider European world. Chapters from leading
scholars discuss the social, economic and political dimensions of
Crusoe's island story before examining the 'after life' of Robinson
Crusoe, from the book's multitudinous translations to its cultural
migrations and transformations into other media such as film and
television. By considering Defoe's seminal work from a variety of
critical perspectives, this book provides a full understanding of
the perennial fascination with, and the enduring legacy of, both
the book and its iconic hero.
