re-integrated into the family circle‚ even unlike Ulysses‚ that paragon of seafarers and no less master of home-comings‚ Robinson breaks once and for all with those he has rejected. Having wished to be nobody’s son he becomes in fact completely orphaned‚ completely alone‚ the innocent self-begetter in a kingdom of complete solitude.” Marthe Roberts’s quote rings through Don Quixote and Robinsons Crouse. All the characters and sometimes the author’s themselves rebel against what is expected of them by society

Daniel Defoe was born in London in 1660‚ third child and first son of James 1. Daniel received a very good education‚ as his father hoped he would become a minister2‚ but Daniel wasn’t interested. His family was Dissenters‚ Presbyterians to be precise‚ and those sects were being persecuted a bit at this time‚ so maybe Daniel had the right idea. He was always very tolerant of others’ religious ideas himself. His mother died when he was ten‚ and his father sent him to a boarding school‚ after which

The solitary and isolated hunter or fisherman‚ who serves Adam Smith and Ricardo as a starting point‚ is one of the unimaginative fantasies of 18th century romances a la Robinson Crusoe; and despite the assertions of social historians‚ these by no means signify simply a reaction against over-refinement and reversion to a misconceived natural life.

How to make the bane of ‘loneliness’ a boon? I.Sarkar Man is born free but everywhere he is chained. In the present day democratic set up of the world the chain is the invisible chain of loneliness or isolation.

THE personal history of Aphra Behn‚ the first Englishwoman to earn her livelihood by authorship‚ is unusually interesting but very difficult to unravel and relate. In dealing with her biography writers at different periods have rushed headlong to extremes‚ and we now find that the pendulum has swung to its fullest stretch. On the one hand‚ we have prefixed to a collection of the Histories and Novels‚ published in 1696‚ ’The Life of Mrs. Behn written by one of the Fair Sex’‚ a frequently reprinted

Introduction ’The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy’ is a novel written by Laurence Sterne‚ which was published in nine volumes from 1759 until the author’s untimely death in 1767. Although classified as an 18th century novel‚ Tristram Shandy does not fit the proverbial box of the era. The story that is being told in this novel is supposed to cover a span of years from 1680 until 1766‚ but the chronological sequence of the story-telling was obscured by the vast amount of digressions.
