Defoe's Major Fiction: Accounting for the Self

by Elizabeth R Napier and Elizabeth R. Napier

Book Overview

This book argues that recent materialist approaches to Defoe are insufficiently attentive to the dominant preoccupations of his fictional oeuvre, which center on moral accountability and self-definition, and addresses Defoe's characters, narration, aesthetic, and ethical experiments that constitute his innovative achievements in the novel form.
