INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: ALEXANDER SELCRAIG SELKIRK PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN 1704 January: The Dampier expedition rounded the horn of South America (this was the second British ship to do so) and ventured into the “Spanish Lake,” that is to say, the Pacific Ocean. Soon they arrived at Más á Tierra Island in the Juan Fernández group 400 miles off the coast of Chile, which Captain Dampier had visited while with Captain John Cook in 1684. While in these waters there would be violent arguments aboard the vessel and they would fight naval engagements with French and Spanish vessels.2 Finding the timbers of the ship full of worms, Alexander Selkirk became convinced that there was little chance that such a skipper and such a crew and such a hull would get him safely home, and consequently asked to be abandoned on Más á Tierra. HERMITS DANIEL DEFOE 2. A naval engagement, particularly if it was with a French vessel, would probably involve attempts to destroy enemy rope rigging and spars and sails by the firing of bar shot known as “doublehead.” Here is a contemporary sketch of the shot used, with a photo of a doublehead that has been found lying at the floor of the ocean: HDT WHAT?

    War of Words: Daniel Defoe and the 1707 Union Anne M. McKim Thus, on both Sides, the case stood between the nations, a Pen and Ink War made a daily Noise in either Kingdom, and this served to Exasperate the People in such a manner, one against another, that never have two Nations Run upon one another in such a manner, and come off without Blows.1 The Union of Scotland and England on 1 May 1707 was – and for some still is – undoubtedly contentious. Polemic and political pamphleteering flourished at the time, reflecting and fanning the debate, while the newssheets and jour- nals of the day provided lively opinion pieces and a good deal of propaganda. Recent commentators have recognised the importance of public discourse and public opinion regarding the Union on the way to the treaty. Leith Davis goes as far as to say that the ‘new British nation was constructed from the dialogue that took place regarding its potential existence’.2 While the treaty articles were still being debated by the last Scottish parlia- ment, Daniel Defoe, who had gone to Scotland specifically to promote the Union, began compiling his monumental History of the Union of Great Britain in Edinburgh.3 He expected to see it published before the end of 1707 although, for reasons that are still not entirely clear, it was not published until late 1709 or early 1710.4 As David Hayton notes, ‘a great deal of it must already have 1 Daniel Defoe, The History of the Union of Great Britain, D.

  • Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe @300 Grant Glass Over 300 Years
    Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe @300 Grant Glass Over 300 years ago, Daniel Defoe immortalized the story of Robinson Crusoe with the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe—creating long tradition of stories about being marooned in an inhospitable place understood as the Robinsonade genre. While the intimate details of Crusoe’s story might be unfamiliar, many of its adaptations like The Martian or Cast Away still persist. Those are just a few, if you look closely enough, there are religious, survivalist, social gospel, colonizationist and anti-colonial, martially masculine, feminist Robinsonades, in overlapping circles emanating out from this central text. The best estimates place these variants in the hundreds. Yet the original novel provides the reader with a gauntlet of historical baggage ranging from colonialism and slavery to climate change and industrialization—forcing us to confront not only our past, but how we represent it in the present. What, then, is Crusoe’s legacy at 300, and what do its retellings tell us about how we think of our past and our future? When you start to notice the Robinsonade, it appears everywhere, and you start to realize you cannot put the horse back in the stable when it comes to Crusoe. Long before the days of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Lena Dunham, Crusoe became an international phenomenon on the star power of its writer, Daniel Defoe, who much like a prolific Tweeter, “seemed to have strong opinions about everything, and wrote about almost everything in his world and his time,”1 with topics ranging from economics, politics and history to space travel.2 While Defoe wrote over 500 books, pamphlets, addresses and letters in his lifetime, Crusoe became his most well-known and well-read work.3 Crusoe was a major hit right from its first printing, it was so well received that Defoe quickly produced a sequel within only a few months after publication of the first.

  • Robinson Crusoe
    READING GROUP GUIDE ROBINSON CRUSOE BY DANIEL DEFOE Restless Classics presents the Three-Hundredth Anniversary Edition of Robinson Crusoe, the classic Caribbean adventure story and foundatio- nal English novel, with new illustrations by Eko and an introduction by Jamaica Kincaid that recontextualizes the book for our globalized, post- colonial era. Three centuries after Daniel Defoe published Robinson Crusoe, this gripping tale of a castaway who spends thirty years on a remote tropical island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being ultimately rescued, remains a classic of the adventure genre and is widely considered the first great English novel. But the book also has much to teach us, in retrospect, about entrenched attitudes of coloni- zers toward the colonized that still resound today. As celebrated Caribbean writer Jamaica Kincaid writes in her bold new introduction, “The vivid, vibrant, subtle, important role of the tale of Robinson Crusoe, with his triumph of individual resilience and ingenuity wrapped up in his European, which is to say white, identity, has played in the long, unin- BUY FROM RESTLESS terrupted literature of European conquest of the rest of the world must not be dismissed or Paperback List Price: $19.99 ignored or silenced.” ISBN: 9781632061195 Publication: 8/27/19 Daniel Defoe (c. 1660 - 1731) was an English writer, journalist, and spy, who gained 5.5” x 8.25” • 384 pages enduring fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe.

  • Polarity Dimensions in Cotzee's
    Polarity Dimensions in Cotzee’s Foe An Analysis of the Reality/Fantasy and Freedom/Captivity Dichotomies Dimensioner av polaritet i Coetzees Foe En analys av dikotomierna verklighet/fantasi och frihet/slaveri Raluka Adlander Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences – Karlstad University Subject: English III for teaching in Secondary and Upper Secondary Education Points:15 credits Supervisor : Åke Bergvall Examniner: Johan Wijkmark Date: January 2019 Adlander Abstract This essay examines the literary reasoning behind employing antagonistic themes in J.M. Coetzee’s novel Foe. The emphasis of this analysis is on two of the most predilected of Coetzee’s topics and their antipodes – reality/ fantasy and freedom/ captivity – but references to secondary themes like feminism and colonialism are also included. Analysing dichotomies in Foe aims to demonstrate that a concept could be understood by its opposite and that the boundary between two antagonistic elements could be a matter of perception. Another intention of this analysis is to provide a plausible decoding of Coetzee’s intricate literary message in Foe. The complexity of this narration resides in its ambiguity generated by polarities and in the multitude of cryptic literary, historic and linguistic details, which are obscured to any superficial reader. To fathom the intended meaning in Foe implies a laborious study, and it requires a deep analysis of all its constituent elements. This essay only refers to a few of them and for that reason I consider that this essay should be regarded as a starting point to further in-depth studies concerning Foe. Keywords: Coetzee, dualism, authorship, truth, fiction, slavery, postmodern, paradox, Friday, castaway, desert island, self Sammanfattning Denna uppsats undersöker det litterära resonemanget bakom att använda antagonistiska teman i J.M.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

  • Narratives of the Literary Island: European Poetics of the Social System After 1945
    Narratives of the Literary Island: European Poetics of the Social System after 1945 Ioana Andreescu Abstract In European post-war literature, the topos of the island takes centre stage, as the insular space often narrates a micro-scale society and the reconstruction of its social system. Isolation, semantically derived from ‘island’, characterises a European society radically transformed by the traumatic violence of the twentieth century. In this context, Robinson Crusoe—the ‘rational adult white man’—is recreated and reinvented in a multitude of new meanings, newly significant for understanding a transformed (and in-transformation) European society: he is cruel, he is afraid, he is a child, he is a woman, he is alone among others. The hypothesis of this paper is that the interest in and updating of Robinson Crusoe’s story transform this narrative into a literary myth, invested via intertextual and palimpsestic approaches with “a programme of truth” (Veyne 1983) that reveals a continuous interest in an alternative social system, which is in-the-making, historically, socially, psychologically, geopolitically, and so on. The literary post-war island narratives considered here, The Magus (1965) by John Fowles and Friday, or, the Other Island (1967) by Michel Tournier, highlight the process of the rewriting and rescaling of European history, as well as the essential need for human values in the creation of a society that has economics at its core. Keywords: Robinson Crusoe, myth, power, ideology, capitalism, individualism, palimpsest, postmodernism, postcolonialism Introduction This paper seeks to relate the myth of Robinson Crusoe and that of the desert island to modern European history, in order to apprehend several poetic1 functions of the post-1945 social system, particularly as portrayed in two post-war European novels, namely The Magus (1965) by John Fowles and Friday, or, the Other Island (1967) by Michel Tournier.

  • La Ofensiva Española En El Entorno Filipino (1565-1677)
    LA OFENSIVA ESPAÑOLA EN EL ENTORNO FILIPINO (1565-1677) Carlos Martínez Shaw RAH La instalación española en las Islas Filipinas (Miguel López de Legazpi, 1565) creó un escenario militar inédito en la región. Inédito y sumamente complejo, pues los recién llegados hubieron de hacer frente (si prescindimos de las resistencias interiores) a varios enemigos locales, como fueron la piratería china (que atacó por primera vez Manila en la temprana fecha de 1574), la piratería japonesa de los wokou (también con algunos hechos de armas sobresalientes, como el ataque a Cagayán de 1581) y el corso permanente de los estados musulmanes del sur (los “moros” de la isla de Mindanao y del archipiélago de Joló o Sulú), que hostigaron permanentemente las costas filipinas en una guerrilla marítima en todo similar al corso berberisco del Mediterráneo. A estos rivales de la región se sumaron los enemigos europeos: el corsarismo inglés (que actuó de un modo más aislado y con el objetivo más concreto de capturar a algún galeón en su ruta de Acapulco a Manila) y, sobre todo, los obstinados ataques holandeses, iniciados en 1600 contra Manila y que, sin respetar siquiera el periodo de vigencia de la Tregua de los Doce Años (1609-1621) y tampoco la paz de Münster (1648), se prolongarían a todo lo largo del siglo XVII, y aun mucho más allá, durante la centuria siguiente, llevados algunas veces en solitario y otras mediando la alianza con los enemigos locales de los españoles. Definidos así los rivales en estas aguas, la situación se complicó a causa de la entrada en liza de otros factores.

The author considers its URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1015187ar origins as a literary genre and the screen adaptations that followed. Emphasis DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1015187ar is placed on how “island TV” employed a television aesthetic that ranged from an earlier conventional approach, using three cameras, studio locations, and See table of contents narrative resolution in each episode, to open-ended storylines employing a cinematic style that exploits the new generation of widescreen televisions, especially with the advent of HDTV. Two case studies centre the argument: Gilligan’s Island as an example of the former, more conventional aesthetic, and Publisher(s) Lost as an example of the new approach. Although both series became Cinémas exceedingly popular, other notable programs are considered, two of which involved Canadian production teams: Swiss Family Robinson and The Mysterious Island.
