This collection of essays commenting on the themes of The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe and The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe is invaluable for understanding Defoe’s attitudes toward these particular works and toward his fiction in general.

Defoe’s The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe—presented here independent of its famous predecessor, The Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe—is an exciting adventure novel by itself. Crusoe returns to his island to learn about his colony, and then travels to Madagascar, India, and China before returning to England after some exciting encounters. Complete with an introduction, line notes, and full bibliographical notes, this is an edition like no other.
