    This book explores significant problems in the fiction of Daniel Defoe. Maximillian E. Novak investigates a number of elements in Defoe’s work by probing his interest in rendering of reality (what Defoe called “the Thing itself”).

  • Imaginary Plots and Political Realities in the Plays of William Congreve

  • Imaginary Plots and Political Realities in the Plays of William Congreve

    by Maximillian E. Novak ...
    William Congreve was deeply involved in the events of his turbulent times. That involvement reveals itself in works which have sometimes been regarded as entirely unengaged with the realities of his society. This book attempts to read Congreve’s plays and his novella, Incognita, against the political and social upheaval of the period initiated by the rebellion of 1688. A strong supporter of the ...

    Series series Transits: Literature, Thought & Culture, 1650-1850
    There is no shortage of explanations for the longevity of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, which has been interpreted as both religious allegory and frontier myth, with Crusoe seen as an example of the self-sufficient adventurer and the archetypal colonizer and capitalist. Defoe’s original has been reimagined multiple times in legions of Robinsonade or castaway stories, but the Crusoe myth is far from ... Read more

  • The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe

    The Stoke Newington Edition

    by Kit Kincade, John G. Peters, Daniel Defoe ...
    Defoe’s The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe was almost always published together with The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. Only after 1950 was the first volume printed alone—a shorter work for some classes. But in addition to fulfilling the promise of the first volume, The Farther Adventures is an exciting adventure novel by itself. Crusoe returns to his island to ... Read more

The Age of Projects uses the notion of a project as a key to understanding the massive social, cultural, political, literary, and scientific transitions that ... Read more
