Robinson Crusoe and His Doubles: The English Robinsonade of the Eighteenth Century

By Artur Blaim

The book is a study of the eighteenth-century English robinsonade focusing on the pre-history of the genre, the multi-level semantics of Robinson Crusoe, its functioning as a genre model, and the subsequent process of its simplification by the gradual elimination of religious meanings and foregrounding the exciting adventures.
