Extrait / Introduction

My monograph explores the colonial features of this novel.It is divided in two parts. In part one,my basis focus is on Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe as an adventure narrative. My analysis will attempts to highlight adventure narrative and colonialism and the different economic,social and political changes that occurred in the late seventeenth and eighteenth century in England. It will also explore how these new changes helped in the emergence of a new literary genre called « Adventure Narrative ». These issues will be examined through my analysis of Robinson Crusoe as the first adventure narrative that represents obviously the ideals and ideology of colonialism . The main theme concerning the shipwreck is how it turns out to be a colonial adventure. My monograph will suggest that Crusoe is a real prototype of a colonial hero who is thrown on the island not to contemplate its beautiful nature but to acquire the island as a colony.
