  • The Complex Legacy of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe

  • Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel was an immediate hit and continues to intrigue us three hundred years later. The book provided Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels talking points for economic theory; it served as inspiration for the enslaved Harriet Jacobs and for Holocaust survivor Imre Kertesz; and it spawned many “sequels,” from Defoe’s own Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe to the television show Gilligan’s Island and the Tom Hanks film Cast Away. The myth of Crusoe has also received strong post-colonial critique in light of the relationship between the title character and “his man Friday.” Some find it a harmful book in this regard and have called for its boycott. In this class we will consider the various aspects that make the tale one of the most enduring and problematic narratives in the English language.
