This warm and witty novel presents itself as the first person narration of an immensely likeable and resourceful woman who, born in the most shameful of circumstances, comes to be desired by, and indeed married to, many men, in the course of her life — some of whom she inveigles into marriage on false pretences — who, when all else fails, resorts to an extraordinarily successful life of crime, pulling many ingenious heists until at last she is nabbed and faced with a real prospect of being hanged. Moll's descriptions of the amorous inclinations of males are often very funny — and not the least part of the joke here, of course, is that Moll's voice itself is actually the creation of a male. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Adultery became the subject of some of the greatest European novels of the nineteenth century, including Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina. English novels of the period needed adultery for their plots, yet flinched from treating the subject openly.Through the twentieth century to the present – from Ulysses and A Handful of Dust to recent fiction by Zadie Smith, Tessa Hadley and Sally Rooney – adultery has fascinated novelists.

The Storm (1704) holds a special place in the writings of Daniel Defoe. Widely considered a founding document of modern journalism, The Storm narrates the calamitous events of November 1703 that are framed by the author in the first four chapters. These are followed by verbatim eyewitness accounts, solicited from survivors through a newspaper advertisement that Defoe placed shortly after the hurricane struck. Defoe is primarily known for his later fiction, loosely based on historical calamities, such as his Journal of the Plague Year (1722), and by fictionalized novels purporting to be first-person accounts, including Robinson Crusoe (1719) and Moll Flanders (1722). It can be argued that The Storm was the journalistic crucible in which the master realist Defoe forged his later novelistic artistry, with its penchant for "the telling detail."

“ yo, como estaba hecho al vino, moría por el y viendo que aquel remedio de la paja no me aprovechaba ni valía, acordé en el suelo del jarro hacerle una fuentecilla y agujero sutil, y delicadamente, con una muy delgada tortilla de cera, taparlo; y al tiempo de comer, fingiendo tener frío, entrábame entre las piernas del triste ciego, a calentarme en la pobrecilla lumbre que teníamos, y al calor de ella luego derretida la cera, por ser muy poca, comenzaba la fuentecilla a destilarme en la boca, la cual yo de tal manera ponía que maldita la gota se perdía”. Fragmento del “Lazarillo de Tormes”. Por espacio de poco menos de cien años, desigualmente repartidos entre los siglos XVI y XVII, va a tener vigencia un tipo de novela que se compone según un patrón conocido hoy como género picaresco. Con él la literatura clásica del Sigo de Oro español alcanza uno de los hitos más destacados y de mayor resonancia universal. Cuando aún no se aplicaba a tales libros el término de novela – reservado entonces para ciertos cuentos y relatos breves – ni se disponía de conceptos teóricos claros, la novela picaresca española sentó con su enfoque realista las bases del importante desarrollo de la novelística moderna europea. Sin petulancia puede afirmarse que España inventó la novela realista con Cervantes y la picaresca, hecho olvidado con frecuencia. Lo que distinguía principalmente a la novela picaresca de otros géneros narrativos coetáneos, como los libros de caballerías y pastoriles, era su cercanía a la realidad de aquel tiempo, representada como telón de fondo de las aventuras del héroe o protagonista. No siempre provenía ello de una observación directa del entorno real. En buena medida, los autores extraen sus personajes novelísticos y no pocos puntos del argumento del fondo folklórico de refranes, historietas y chascarrillos populares, que tanto influjo ejerció sobre la literatura del Siglo de Oro. Figuras tales como estudiantes pobres y traviesos, soldados sin acomodo, hidalgos tronados, mendigos, criados ingeniosos, rufianes, prostitutas, cómicos de la legua.., corren como estereotipos de boca en boca y aparecen en diversos géneros, como el teatro, el cuento y la poesía satírica, además de la picaresca. El propio pícaro, héroe que da nombre al género, pertenece al mismo censo de personajes. Esta circunstancia, sin embargo, no quita valor al realismo de la novela, ya que, en definitiva, la realidad es la fuente primera de inspiración para crear entre el pueblo tipos y situaciones típicas. La innovación de la novela picaresca consiste en implicar a estas figuras, petrificadas en la tradición popular, con otras inventadas por el autor, en una trama novelística, cuyo hilo conductor es la vida de un personaje al que corrientemente se denomina pícaro. La forma de disponer el material revestirá unas características comunes para la docena larga de novelas acreedoras al título de picarescas. Al revés que los libros de caballerías y pastoriles, que con su idealismo proporcionaban al lector evasiones literarias a mundos artificiosos, respectivamente heroicos y sentimentales, la novela picaresca tiene, en principio, voluntad de referirse a problemas sociales. Se vincula así la corriente literaria que integran obras realistas como “La Celestina” y las promovidas por el humanismo de inspiración eramista. En especial este último movimiento intelectual, fuerte alrededor de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, se inclina de forma influyente por una literatura que, sin descuidar el aspecto de diversión, contenga enseñanzas morales. Al pícaro, a la vez protagonista y narrador de su vida, se le encomienda una función crítica y surge así la figura nueva, y en cierto modo paradójica, del pícaro reformador que sermonea o despotrica sobre una cantidad de temas que interesan a la sociedad de su tiempo. Con todo sorprende el amplio margen que concedía la censura de la época a la discusión de valores y comportamientos de las clases dirigentes y al despliegue de las lacras del país. En función de este cometido, los novelistas adecuarán la personalidad de los pícaros a las propias intenciones, dentro de una amplia gama de variantes. Aparte de factores ideológicos y literarios específicos, las peculiaridades sociales de España se hallan en la raíz de la aparición de la novela picaresca en este - y no otro - país. Ciertamente las condiciones de vida, reflejadas en la picaresca, eran igualmente malas, si no peores, en el resto de Europa occidental. Pero en ninguna parte se daban las contradicciones y fisuras de la sociedad española. Durante aquel tiempo se produce el auge y el declive político, económico y militar de España; el desarrollo de la picaresca coincide con las primeras fases, aún indecisas, del proceso fatal. Las victorias en el exterior y las riquezas del Nuevo Mundo concurren en las repetidas bancarrotas del Estado y la peste y el hambre que asolaban la despoblada Castilla. En la sociedad del país que aspiraba a una dominación universal, se discriminaba a grupos con lejanos ascendientes judíos conocidos, a pesar de su total integración social y religiosa. La riqueza de los pocos contrastaba con la pobreza de los muchos. En la novela picaresca no dejan de repercutir consciente o inconscientemente algunos de esos problemas. En particular, las barreras que imponen las clases privilegiadas, cada vez más cerradas en sí mismas, a los intentos individuales de ascenso social. Los medios poco honrados empleados por los arribistas guardan cierta relación metafórica con las trampas del pícaro para mejorar su suerte. El desdén manifiesto de muchos pícaros por la honra al propalar la infamia de sus padres o despreocuparse del qué dirán de la gente, había de seducir a los lectores españoles, agobiados por una sociedad puntillosa y exigente con sus miembros en las formas externas de comportamiento. El viejo concepto de honor había quedado reducido a las apariencias de conducta o nacimiento que crean el prestigio u honra, acordada por la opinión de la gente, perfectamente manipulable, como demostraba el pícaro. Como consecuencia de la explosión demográfica del XVI, el éxodo rural llena las ciudades europeas de desocupados, que se mantienen por la caridad o el vicio y el delito que propicia el desarraigo. El aumento del hampa y el parasitismo se deja notar en España, sobre todo en las ciudades de rápido crecimiento, como Sevilla, centro económico, y especialmente Madrid, convertida en sede de la Corte, que rondan los cien mil habitantes, por eso en sus bajos fondos se ambientan muchas novelas picarescas. Se calcula en un 14 por ciento la proporción de población mendiga, en parte asimilable a los pícaros literarios. El fraude y el germen del delito en estas comunidades preocupan mucho a los reformadores de la asistencia pública; esa preocupación se traslada también a algunos novelistas, como Mateo Alemán, de forma explícita. El interés por el modo de vida de los falsos mendigos y delincuentes en otros países europeos dio lugar a tratados descriptivos, a veces llamados . Sólo en España una realidad en la que se combinan pobreza, marginación social y delincuencia recibió un tratamiento novelístico. El mérito y la iniciativa de transformar en ficción narrativa esa parcela de la realidad corresponden a un librillo de apariencia modesta: “Lazarillo de Tormes”. Con él arranca un género que incluye obras maestras junto a otras mediocres. Las circunstancias no pudieron ser más desfavorables para el nacimiento del género. A poco de salir impresas sin nombre de autor las tres primeras ediciones conocidas el mismo año 1.554 y otra al siguiente, se incluye el “Lazarillo” en la lista o índice de libros prohibidos por la Inquisición. Junto con la prohibición de estudiar en universidades extranjeras y el control estricto de los libros introducidos en España, el índice es una de las medidas de Felipe II que puso fin al clima intelectual de los últimos años del reinado de Carlos V, en los que se fraguó la novela. Para el espíritu combativo y cerrado de la Contrarreforma, implantada por Felipe II, el “Lazarillo” transpiraba malicia anticlerical y trataba con demasiada ligereza y libertad temas religiosos. Más tarde, en 1.573, para evitar su lectura clandestina, se autorizó una edición expurgada, con un par de capítulos y varios pasajes suprimidos, lo que evitó su total olvido hasta que Mateo Alemán tomó el relevo en 1.599 e inauguró el género ya con otros aires políticos más benévolos. El nombre del autor del “Lazarillo de Tormes” sigue siendo un enigma, a pesar de que no hayan faltado candidatos. A comienzos el siglo XVII se proponen los nombre del distinguido fraile jerónimo Juan de Ortega – por hallarse a su muerte un manuscrito de la novela, original o copia – y Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, aristócrata, historiador y poeta. De espíritu liberal y alegre ambos carecen, no obstante, de textos similares que apoyen la atribución del libro. Por coincidencias con el estilo, las ideas o la personalidad posible del autor anónimo, se ha señalado modernamente, sin pruebas concluyentes, a los hermanos erasmistas Alfonso o Juan de Valdés, el folklorista Sebastián de Horozco y varios autores más con pocas probabilidades. Son aproximaciones valiosas, en el mejor de los casos, al perfil humano e ideológico del autor, cuya identidad sólo podrá revelar hipotéticamente un descubrimiento sensacional. En tal empeño se ha partido del sentido y de indicios encontrados en la misma obra, interpretados en formas muy dispares. Así, se le ha considerado erasmista. Pero en ninguna parte se expone su programa de renovación de la Iglesia a través de la práctica de un cristianismo íntimamente sentido, depurado de las supersticiones y pompas que fomentaba un clero ignorante e indigno. Con todo, la sátira de la vida eclesiástica, corriente desde la Edad Media, sitúa la obra en la atmósfera crítica que crearan el erasmismo y otros movimientos afines, con el beneplácito de Carlos V, algunos años atrás. Varios indicios, diversamente valorados, de inconformismo religioso y la ridiculización de la honra falsa del escudero, tercer amo de Lazarillo, dieron pie a la hipótesis de un autor descendiente de conversos. Aparte que éstos no ostentaban la exclusiva del descontento, falta demostrar que hubo una concepción de la realidad uniforme para todos los cristianos nuevos. A la vista del factor más sobresaliente del libro, la ambigüedad moral relativa a Lázaro de Tormes, resulta tentador imaginar al autor como un espíritu escéptico y abierto, libre de prejuicios y partidismos, que enfrenta a un individuo con la sociedad, corrompida, hipócrita y despiadada, y que le hace, por último, sucumbir al ambiente. Cuando por fin Mateo Alemán se inspiró en el esquema del “Lazarillo de Tormes” para escribir el “Guzmán de Alfarache”, aquel dejó de ser la golondrina aislada que no hace verano. A la zaga del éxito editorial de la obra en 1.599, a uno de los editores se le ocurrió aquel mismo año reimprimir el casi olvidado “Lazarillo”; luego, ambos libros se publicarán juntos varias veces. En la conciencia de los lectores estaba claro que “Lazarillo” y “Guzmán” pertenecían al mismo tipo o género de libros. Pronto los imitadores, deseosos de reactualizar el éxito de Mateo Alemán, seguirán en sus novelas la pauta establecida conjuntamente por ambos. La fórmula inventada por “Lazarillo de Tormes” y aplicada por Alemán era bastante sencilla. Consistía en un relato autobiográfico de un personaje ficticio, un sujeto de vil condición. Los episodios de la vida se narran en sucesivas etapas al servicio de una serie de amos, que representaban a diferentes tipos de la sociedad y se prestaban a la sátira de narrador; Mateo Alemán introduce una variante equivalente al hacer encarnar también a su pícaro diversas personalidades o profesiones. La relación de sucesos vividos en el pasado servía para explicar una situación de deshonor en el presente en el que se escribía; una vez cumplida su misión, la narración se cerraba y terminaba. Juntamente, el presente proporcionaba el motivo de escribir. Así, Lázaro se ve obligado por un señor a justificar su matrimonio con la manceba de un clérigo por sus aventuras anteriores. Guzmán confiesa arrepentido sus faltas pasadas para advertencia del lector, mientras cumple condena como remero de una galera por sus delitos. Ante este andamiaje constructivo, el carácter picaresco del héroe pasa a un segundo plano. A Lázaro ni siquiera se le llama pícaro, aunque retrospectivamente, tenga muchos rasgos en común. Sin más que la presencia de personajes picarescos, una novela que no reúna otras condiciones no puede adscribirse al género. La vida del pícaro abarca dese la infancia a la edad adulta y se inicia con la mención de los padres deshonrosos. Los episodios se refieren desde el único punto de vista posible: el del pícaro narrador. En una alternancia continua de la fortuna, adversa o favorable, el héroe se afana por mejorar de condición, a fuerza de trampas y engaños. Por tal motivo, el viaje es un recurso, además de un medio para conocer varios ambientes. A grandes trazos, el cotejo del breve “Lazarillo de Tormes” y el dilatado “Guzmán de Alfarache” proporciona este modelo resultante, que se puede alterar en los detalles, siempre que se tenga en cuenta el conjunto de rasgos esenciales. El impacto extraordinario de estas dos obras animó a otros escritores a seguir sus pasos y, aunque la novela picaresca posterior cae en manos de autores más respetuosos con el sistema que el autor anónimo y Alemán. Podemos citar aquí “El Buscón” de 1.626, del gran Francisco de Quevedo; “La pícara Justina”, de Lòpez de Úbeda; “Vida del escudero Marcos de Obregón” de Vicente Espinel; y “Vida y hechos de Estebanillo González, hombre de buen humor” de 1.646, que marca el cierre del ciclo de la picaresca española y que se trata de una obra anónima, autobiografía cierta o ficticia, que señala el enlace con la primera novela picaresca, cuyo autor pretende ser Lázaro de Tormes; es significativo, el círculo queda totalmente cerrado. Cervantes y su relación con la picaresca daría para varios espacios complementarios. Aunque por mucho tiempo España se desinteresa de la novela y de la picaresca en particular, no puede decirse que el género muere completamente. En Europa, la novela picaresca española es apreciada y saboreada en traducciones. De este modo, en los siglos XVII y, sobre todo, XVIII, puede hablarse de imitaciones europeas del género, en las que se transponen las novelas a las respectivas circunstancias nacionales, como por ejemplo: “Simplicissimus” de Grimmelshausen; “Gil Blas de Santillana” de Lesage, “Moll Flanders” de Daniel Defoe o “Tom Jones” de Fielding. En otras novelas, también se manifiesta el influjo de Cervantes, que con la picaresca, es el maestro de los autores realistas del XVIII y XIX. No cabe la menor duda de que la novela picaresca, como genero genuinamente español, continúa siendo un valor vivo de la literatura universal.

Daniel Foe, (born 1660, London, Eng.—died April 24, 1731, London), was a British novelist, pamphleteer, and journalist. A well-educated London merchant, he became an acute economic theorist and began to write eloquent, witty, often audacious tracts on public affairs. A satire he published resulted in his being imprisoned in 1703, and his business collapsed. He traveled as a government secret agent while continuing to write prolifically. In 1704–13 he wrote practically single-handedly the periodical Review, a serious and forceful paper that influenced later essay periodicals such as The Spectator. His Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain, 3 vol. (1724–26), followed several trips to Scotland. Late in life he turned to fiction. He achieved literary immortality with the novel Robinson Crusoe(1719), which drew partly on memoirs of voyagers and castaways. He is also remembered for the vivid, picaresque Moll Flanders (1722); the nonfictional Journal of the Plague Year (1722), on the Great Plague in London in 1664–65; and Roxana (1724), a prototype of the modern novel.From https://www.britannica.com/summary/Daniel-Defoe. For more information about Daniel Defoe:Previously on The Quarantine Tapes:Nicholson Baker about Defoe, at 07:00: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-160-nicholson-bakerWerner Herzog about Defoe, at 17:25: https://quarantine-tapes.simplecast.com/episodes/the-quarantine-tapes-002-werner-herzog“Daniel Defoe”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/daniel-defoe“A Journal of the Plague Year”: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/38621/a-journal-of-the-plague-year-by-daniel-defoe/“What the Great Pandemic Novels Teach Us”: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/23/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-orhan-pamuk.html

Django Nudo and the Smut Peddler celebrate the first #CultpixIRL cinema screening this past week at Bio Aspen, the groovy new retro cinema in Stockholm's new hipster district.  It was a double bill of "Anita - Swedish Nymphet" (1973) and "Kyrkoherden / The Lustful Vicar" (1970), both beautifully restored by the Swedish Film Institute. Guest of honour was Christina 'Anita' Lindberg herself and the authors of the book 'Frigjorda Tider' ('Liberated Times'), who talked about the period when these films were released, a time when "porn became culture and culture became porn."Sticking with the theme of culture and porn, DN and SP discuss the Cultpix Theme Week of Literally Erotic Women. Adapting classics of literature for provided good plots, a veneer of highbrow credibility and - best of all - they were out of copyright and the authors were too dead to complain about having their works adapted with lots of boobs, bums and other bits. Chief amongst these literary smut auteurs was Mac Ahlberg, who as Bert Torn, directed six literary adaptations that can be streamed on Cultpix now, including John Cleland's "Fanny Hill" (1968) and "Jorden runt med Fanny Hill / Around the World With Fanny Hill" (1974); Anonymous' "Flossie" (1974); Marqis de Sade's "Justine & Juliette" (1975); Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders adaptation "Molly" (1977, aka "Sex in Sweden") and Guy de Maupassant's "Bel Ami" (1977).We discuss the stars who appeared in many of these, including the lovely Maria Forså (who apparently didn't fake it), Harry Reems and how he ended up in Sweden, the on-stage sex real life couple Jack and Kim Frank, plus the director Torgny Wickman, who insisted " on painting every clit a little pinker immediately before each take.'"There is also the early US nudie cutie "Kipling's Women" (1961), which was said to be based on "A Picturization of Rudyard Kipling's Immortal Poem---The Ladies," with the priceless tagline 'They Wear Only the Wind!'. And to prevent projectionists from cutting out the nudie bits of the 35mm prints, you could send of for free photos of the six lovely ladies in questions. Finally there is also the Austro-Hungarian turn-of-the-century smut classic Josephine Mutzenbacher, with two of the dozen adaptations available on Cultpix: "Naughty Knickers/Josefine Mutzenbacher" (1970) and "Don't Get Your Knickers in a Twist/Josefine Mutzenbacher II - Meine 365 Liebhaber" (1971). Many of these films are available too in multiple English, French, German and Swedish dub. So you can not only refine your cultural credentials, but also your linguistic one, by watching these films.

“Besó el suelo y apoyó en él su cabeza, y tomando mi pie lo puso sobre ella, lo que sin duda representaba su voluntad de hacerse mi esclavo por toda la vida”. Daniel Foe, que más tarde añadiría el prefijo “De” a su apellido, nació al parecer en Londres en 1.660. En 1.684 se casó con Mary Tuffley, y luego pasó unos años como empresario y mercader, pero en 1.692 cayó en bancarrota. En 1.697 se convirtió en confidente del rey Guillermo III y viajó por Gran Bretaña como agente secreto. En 1.702, su panfleto “El camino más corto con los disidentes” lo llevó a la cárcel, debido a su contenido político, y a una segunda bancarrota. Fue liberado gracias al influyente político Robert Harley, para el que trabajó como espía, viajando de nuevo por todo el país con el fin de informarle sobre la opinión pública. Defoe no se dedicó a la novela hasta casi cumplir los sesenta años. “Moll Flanders” de 1.722, “Diario del año de la peste” del mismo año y “Roxana”de 1.724 las escribió después de “Robinson Crusoe” escrita en 1.719, que obtuvo un enorme éxito, convirtiendo a su autor en una figura fundamental del género. Murió en el año 1.731. Construir una narración como una autobiografía ficticia es un recurso que permite al escritor no solo presentar el relato de la vida de un individuo como si este fuera el autor, sino también crear la impresión de que las palabras escritas son la transcripción directa de sucesos reales. El “Robinson Crusoe” de Daniel Defoe (originalmente titulado “Vida y extrañas y sorprendentes aventuras de Robinson Crusoe”) fue el padre de esa voz autobiográfica de ficción. Muchos otros personajes literarios notables de los siglos XVIII y XIX siguieron a Crusoe; entre ellos el Gulliver de Jonathan Swift, el Tom Jones de Henry Fielding o el David Copperfield de Charles Dickens. La portada de la primera edición de “Robinson Crusoe” no citaba a Defoe como autor: bajo el título decía simplemente . Así, los lectores muy bien podían suponer que la historia que contaba era cierta, verídica. La primera frase del libro: sugiere que se trata de una narración real relatada por la misma persona que vivió esas aventuras. Los detalles sobre el nacimiento del autor aportan autenticidad a la obra como texto autobiográfico, y por tanto como narración real. El hecho de que parte de la novela esté escrita en forma de diario refuerza esa verosimilitud. “Robinson Crusoe” es ampliamente reconocido como un texto fundacional del realismo y, para muchos, es además la primera novela inglesa. Se cree que Defoe se inspiró en el relato de un náufrago que existió realmente, Alexander Selkirk, quién a principios del siglo XVIII quedó aislado en una isla del Pacífico. La historia de Defoe, que tuvo un éxito inmediato, menciona expediciones a regiones exóticas de África y Brasil, y una misión esclavista que acaba en naufragio en una isla del Caribe. Crusoe explica sus intentos de rescatar provisiones del barco y su solitaria existencia en la isla. Construye un refugio y fabrica herramientas para cazar, labrar y recolectar; lleva la cuenta de los días haciendo muescas en una cruz de madera; lee la Biblia y reza a Dios. Domestica a un loro. Durante años, esta es su vida. Entonces, en un famoso episodio de la literatura universal, Crusoe descubre una huella en la arena, lo que le provoca un miedo obsesivo a ser atacado por . Después de dos años dedicado a fortificar su refugio, encuentra a un nativo que huye de unos caníbales. El protagonista entonces lo rescata, lo pone a su servicio y lo llama Viernes, por el día en que lo encontró. La relación entre ambos hombres ha sido criticada como propia del amo y esclavo o explorador/explotador – europeo/indígena; Crusoe, como portador de civilización, entre comillas, constituye un símbolo del emergente imperialismo británico. Igual que las naciones europeas tomaban el mando de sus colonias, así Crusoe asume el dominio sobre la isla, y se considera a sí mismo dueño y señor de estas tierras. Ciertamente, la forma en que Daniel Defoe se abre paso en el nuevo escenario social y literario, da expresión narrativa a la naciente ética mercantilista e individualista de la época y no deja lugar a dudas que que la novela encontró terreno abonado en la realidad social del siglo XVIII. Cuando a la edad de sesenta años, Defoe decidió publicar la primera parte de “Robinson Crusoe”, en pocos meses se multiplicaros las ediciones, aparecieron ediciones piratas y el libro fue devorado por toda clase de público, incluida gentes de clase humilde. Esta, y las otras obras posteriores del autor, celebran el mundo de la industria, la adquisición de una propiedad, y a través de ellas configura Defoe unos ideales de clase haciendo contar a los personajes sus propias vidas en función de los cambios sociales, condiciones económicas y estados de conciencia. ¿Relato de aventuras y de viajes?, ¿Autobiografía espiritual?, ¿Alegoría religiosa?. Defoe recurrió a diversas fuentes para incorporar ingredientes de memoria personal e historia espiritual y justificar la verosimilitud del relato en función de un propósito moral. Por su fondo ideológico, “Robinson Crusoe” transluce un credo individualista, mercantilista y liberal que suponía un reto frente a la concepción aristocrática de la estabilidad social. Y efectivamente así ha sido. El mundo occidental – Rousseau, Coleridge y Marx, entre otros – ha visto en Robinson encarnado en uno de los grandes mitos modernos: la épica de supervivencia individual frente a la opresión de la naturaleza. Jamás la experiencia individual había sido presentada con tanta precisión, ni el curso de los episodios marcado tan convincentemente un proceso espiritual. La historia hipnotiza por su realismo, mientras el espíritu mercantilista de su héroe, la personificación del nuevo >, acepta los caminos de la providencia. La insular de Crusoe inspiró numerosas refiguraciones y dio origen a todo un subgénero. Texto fundamental en la literatura inglesa, ha tenido una enorme influencia – tal vez como ninguna otra obra -, y la figura de Robinson Crusoe se ha convertido en parte de la cultura general en todo el mundo.
