Purchase options and add-ons

Michael Shinagel has collated the reprint with all six authorized editions published by Taylor in 1719 to achieve a text that is faithful to Defoe's original edition.? Annotations assist the reader with obscure words and idioms, biblical references, and nautical terms.

'Contexts' helps the reader understand the novel's historical and religious significance.

Included are four contemporary accounts of marooned men, Defoe's autobiographical passages on the novel's allegorical foundation, and aspects of the Puritan emblematic tradition essential for understanding the novel's religious aspects.

'Eighteenth-and Nineteenth-Century Opinions' is a comprehensive study of early estimations by prominent literary and political figures, including Alexander Pope, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Samuel Johnson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Edgar Allen Poe, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and John Stuart Mill.

'Twentieth-Century Criticism' is a collection of fourteen essays (five of them new to the Second Edition) that presents a variety of perspectives on Robinson Crusoe by Virginia Woolf, Ian Watt, Eric Berne, Maximillian E. Novak, Frank Budgen, James Joyce, George A. Starr, J. Paul Hunter, James Sutherland, John J. Richetti, Leopold Damrosch, Jr., John Bender, Michael McKeon, and Carol Houlihan Flynn.

A Chronology of Defoe's life and work and an updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

This book was really hard to find none of the bookstores could provide me one so I ordered it from amazon hoping that it would be the right version. I'm thoroughly surprised by the neat copy and the contents of the book. Though it did take a long time to arrive but it was worth the wait. Thank you so much!!

Auch heute noch interessant zu lesen. Diese einflussreiche, originale "Robinsonade" reiht sich ein in eine Literaturgenealogie der Wanderschaft, des Exils, der Autopoiesis ein, die von Sophocles Philoktetes und Platons Phaedrus hinführt zu Goethe, Kleist, Proust, Th. Mann.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Wasted on Youth
Reviewed in the United States on 7 May 2007

Several years ago, I read a review essay on Defoe's book which startled me... apparently it was considered to be the powerful and influential "Christian Classic" of its day. I read "Robinson Crusoe" as a youth in the standard abridged form. I didn't, of course, realize that the abridgement involved the removal of all the philisophical and theological reflection of the protagonist.

This is, as it was at its original printing, a serious book for adults.

this is not a book about mere "survival." It is a man searching for the meaning in his life before God, who has allowed him to live when the entire crew accompanying him has perished in a storm. Though I do not share the heavy predestinarian bent of the theology, I fully respect the honesty of (Defoe's) reflection through Crusoe. this is a spiritual journey from which we may larn much.

This is serious reading of the very best type. Rewarding to the end. In an earlier time (and not much earlier), you would not have been considered to be either educated or cultured without reading this book.

Please, read and enjoy.

Very clean copy, arrived very quickly without too much extra (non-recyclable) packaging. Exactly as described, and a terrific edition with notes and literary criticism. Would absolutely order from this seller again.
