1719 Crusoe Daniel Defoe Robinson
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the world of Daniel Defoe, the renowned English writer, and his most famous literary creation, Robinson Crusoe. The image features Defoe, dressed in the attire of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, intently poring over a manuscript. The title "Robinson Crusoe" is prominently displayed at the top of the page, while scenes from the novel unfold before us. Published in 1719, Robinson Crusoe is considered one of the earliest examples of the novel form in English literature. The story follows the adventures of the eponymous protagonist, a castaway who manages to survive alone on a deserted island for 28 years. Defoe's vivid descriptions of Crusoe's experiences, from his initial despair to his eventual triumphs, captivated readers and cemented his place in literary history. The scenes depicted in the print offer a visual representation of some of the most memorable moments from the novel. We see Crusoe building a raft to escape the island, constructing a hut from the materials he finds, and encountering the cannibals who inhabit another island. These images bring the story to life and offer a glimpse into the imagination of Daniel Defoe. Defoe's influence on literature and the novel form cannot be overstated. His ability to create a believable and engaging narrative from the experiences of a single character paved the way for future novelists and helped shape the literary landscape of the modern world. This print is a testament to Defoe's enduring legacy and the power of the written word to transport us to new and exciting worlds.
