New Softcover NA The Second Edition of the Norton Critical Edition of Robinson Crusoe is based on the Shakespeare Head Press reprint of the firstaEUR"edition copy in the British Museum, with the "Errata" listed by DefoeaEUR s publisher, William Taylor, incorporated into the text. Michael Shinagel has collated the reprint with all six authorized editions published by Taylor in 1719 to achieve a text that is faithful to DefoeaEUR s original edition. Annotations assist the reader with obscure words and idioms, biblical references, and nautical terms. "Contexts" helps the reader understand the novelaEUR s historical and religious significance. Included are four contemporary accounts of marooned men, DefoeaEUR s autobiographical passages on the novelaEUR s allegorical foundation, and aspects of the Puritan emblematic tradition essential for understanding the novelaEUR s religious aspects. "Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Opinions of Defoe and Robinson Crusoe" is a comprehensive survey of early estimations by prominent literary and political figures, including Alexander Pope, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Samuel Johnson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Edgar Allan Poe, Thomas Babington Macaulay, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and John Stuart Mill. "TwentiethaEUR"Century Criticism" is a collection of fourteen essays (five of them new to the Second Edition) that presents a variety of perspectives on Robinson Crusoe by Virginia Woolf, Ian Watt, Erie Berne, Max-imillian E. Novak, Frank Budgen, James Joyce, George A. Starr, J. Paul Hunter, James Sutherland, John J. Richetti, Leopold Damrosch, Jr., John Bender, Michael MeKeon, and Carol Houlihan Flynn. A Chronology of DefoeaEUR s life and work and an updated Selected Bibliography are also included.

LOUWERSE, P. Met Robinson Crusoe 10 jaar op reis. 's-Grav., Joh. Ykema, 1892.
This should have been the new, more modern and free Dutch translation of Defoe's second novel, "The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", meant as a continuation and counterpart to Louwerse's more modern and free translation of Defoe's first novel, "The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe", published the year before. Only in outer appearance the present forms a counterpart to the earlier book, but in contents it is quite a different matter. As Louwerse declared in his introduction, he got so bored with Defoe's second novel that he decided to write a whole new story after his own invention. The only restriction he had were the illustrations by Paget designed for "The Farther Adventures", because the publisher had already bought these English plates and wanted to use them. Thus Louwerse's translation of "The Life" belongs to the Robinson-literature proper, but the present second work really belongs to the original Robinson-versions. Still, it is mostly, like here too, arranged under the free adaptations, as Louwerse originally did start from Defoe.
Good copy.- (With library-label).

<B>GESCHIEDENIS, DE-,</B> bij welke deze afbeeldingen behooren, 's, zeer leeslustwekkend en leerrijk, beschreven door den beroemden kindervriend Campe. De derde druk van dezelve is, in 1815, uitgegeven te Amsterdam, bij J. ten Brink Gz. en J. de Vries. Amsterdam, Mindermann en Comp., (ca. 1820).
Rare catchpenny print on Robinson Crusoe, based on the children's version by Joachim Campe and published by T.C. Hoffers in Rotterdam for Mindermann in Amsterdam. The woodcuts were newly cut by Christiaan Jacob Schuyling, Hoffers' main woodcutter, who signed a number of prints, but not our print, which is numbered 19. According to De Meyer, Hoffers was active in Rotterdam between 1820 and 1837. It is curious to note that the title of our print refers to a specific edition of Campe's "Robinson Crusoe": the third edition, published by Ten Brink & De Vries in Amsterdam in 1815. Would Campe's publishers have been sponsoring the print, or selling it? By 1820 they had already published a fourth edition of the book! KLKL describes Hoffers' print number 19 with the more neutral title "Levensgeschiedenis van Robinson Crusoe", but De Meyer only lists number 19 with our title.
Good copy, printed on handmade paper of good quality.
De Meyer p. 171, and Hoffers cat. 19; KLKL 339 (Hoffers' issue under variant title); cf. Saalmink p. 343 lists 2 copies of the 3rd ed. of 1815 of Campe's "Robinson", and several copies of the 4th ed. of 1820, both published by Ten Brink & De Vries in Amsterdam.

Catchpenny print. Folio. With 12 woodcuts depicting the story of Robinson Crusoe, each woodcut with 4 or 5 lines of text in small type printed underneath, and all most casually coloured by thumb in red and yellow.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Experiencing the Exotic: Oroonoko and Robinson Crusoe , language: English, abstract: Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel Defoe, is one of the most read books in the world. There are numerous reasons for this success. Some people love the adventure story of Robinson who lives on a deserted island, far away from everyday life, which seems really desirable for the modern society. Others admire Robinson as the self-made man who is on his own in an uncivilized area and manages his life independently for so many years. That is why the story is often interpreted as an old form of the American Dream. It can also be seen as a religious story because of the importance of God in it. There are many more ways of reading the novel Robinson Crusoe and a lot of different themes that can be focused on, even though some are not apparently important for the development of Crusoe s adventurous story...
