Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- A Note on the Text -- Introduction -- Contributors -- PART ONE : Generic Revisions -- 1 The Martian: Crusoe at the Final Frontier -- 2 Robinson’s Transgender Voyage: or, Burlesquing Crusoe -- 3 Animal Crusoes: Anthropomorphism and Identification in Children’s Robinsonades -- PART TWO : Mind and Matter -- 4 Defoe and Newton: Modern Matter -- 5 Crusoe’s Ecstasies: Passivity, Resignation, and Tobacco Rites -- 6 Taken by Storm: Robinson Crusoe and Aqueous Violence -- 7 Life Gets Tedious: Crusoe and the Threat of Boredom -- PART THREE : Character and Form -- 8 Crusoe’s Rambling -- 9 Crusoe’s Encounters with the World and the Problem of Justice in The Farther Adventures -- 10 “To Us the Mere Name Is Enough”: Robinson Crusoe, Myth, and Iconicity -- Acknowledgments -- Bibliography -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: There is no shortage of explanations for the longevity of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, 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 the Crusoe myth is far from spent. This wideranging 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.
