Crusoe rambles through a dozen large questions of social and religious morality which he contends are allegorized in his life. Even the best readers of Defoe can benefit from having a guide through this philosophical labyrinth. Fortunately, the introduction and notes to this superbly edited volume provide the necessary guidance and insight to make the \u003ci\u003eSerious Reflections of Robinson Crusoe\u003c\/i\u003e accessible, perhaps for the first time.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— Geoffrey Sill, editor of The Works of Daniel Defoe: Satire, Fantasy, and Supernatural Writings\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSerious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ewith his Vision of the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAngelick\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorld\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1720 and considered a sequel to \u003ci\u003eThe Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\u003c\/i\u003e, is a collection of essays written in the voice of the Crusoe character. Expressing Defoe's thoughts about many moral questions of the day, the narrator takes up isolation, poverty, religious liberty, and epistemology. Defoe also used this volume to revive his interest in poetry, not the satiric poetry of the early eighteenth century, but the more inspirational verse that appeared in some of his later works. \u003ci\u003eSerious Reflections\u003c\/i\u003e also includes an imaginative flight in which Crusoe wanders among the planets, a return to the moon voyage impulse of Defoe's 1705 work \u003ci\u003eThe Consolidator\u003c\/i\u003e. Illuminating the ideas and philosophy of this most influential of English novelists, it is invaluable for any student of the period.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003e List of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe with his Vision of the Angelick World\u003cbr\u003e Robinson Crusoe's Preface\u003cbr\u003e Publisher's Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 Of SOLITUDE\u003cbr\u003e 2 An Essay upon HONESTY\u003cbr\u003e 3 of the Immorality of Conversation, and The Vulgar Errors of Behaviour\u003cbr\u003e 4 An Essay on the present State of Religion in the World\u003cbr\u003e 5 Of listning to the Voice of Providence\u003cbr\u003e 6 Of the Proportion between the Christian and Pagan World\u003cbr\u003e A Vision of the Angelick World\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographic Descriptions\u003cbr\u003e List of Editorial Emendations\u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e About the Editors\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Bucknell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52633822495000,"sku":"9781684483303","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/serious-reflections-during-the-life-and-surprising-adventures-of-robinson-crusoe-with-his-vision-of-the-angelick-world-the-stoke-newington-edition-paperback-softback-9781684483303","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
