        <description><![CDATA[The majority of the 18th century, especially its first half is often categorized as 'The Age of Prose and Reason'. The process, one can say is anticipated by the Restoration period post 1660 and culminates in the writers of the 18th century before the Romantics counter it.
The term emphasises the dominance of rationality (an Enlightenment baggage) in the age where prose-medium flourished a lot more than poetry. The poetry that was written was...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Daniel Defoe wrote "Robinson Crusoe" in 1719.  At that point, just about all European societies were deeply racist.  Because of this, when Defoe portrays black natives as savages, he is simply going along with a view of non-whites that would have been held by practically every person who read the book.
Remember, in 1719, slavery was legal and common in the British Empire.  The same was true of the French Empire (what's now Haiti, for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The importance of Robinson Crusoe to English Literature is that it is considered to be one of the most important precursors of the novel as a genre (the others being Defoe's "Moll Flanders," and "Roxana" and a number of other fictions written by writers now forgotten, among them Mrs. Eliza Heywood.
Robinson Crusoe is NOT a novel because there is no development of character, and no central conflict to be resolved. Crusoe is marooned on an...]]></description>

As you say, three major ideas of the age of reason were science, logic and exploration.  During that time, people started to try to use science and logic to explain the world around them and they started to explore partly...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Many scholars believe that Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" is largely about colonialism.
In the book, Crusoe systematically subjugates the island on which he is lost.  All through his own efforts, he makes the tools that he needs to build himself a home with ten foot walls around the compound.  He imposes his will on nature by building this home and by showing the crows who's boss, essentially.  This was one of the main themes of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Humanity in a desperate bid to survive is the philosophical implication of the vision of the human condition that comes out of a text like Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe shipwreck into an apparently haunted and deserted island might well be seen as an allegory of the existential situation--man, being thrown into a rather alien universe. Darwin's ideas of a "struggle for existence," where there is only a "survival of the fittest"...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The post-colonial perspective on Defoe's Robinson Crusoe stems from the strand in Post-colonial studies that goes back to the classic realist or canon making texts of the colonial culture that participate in the textual politics of colonialism by upholding or allegorizing a colonial point of view. Crusoe's relation to the Black slave Friday is the issue here. The linguistic and religious colonizations are at work in the so-called civilizing...]]></description>
