What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Evan Davis has done an excellent job of bringing together many of the strands of thought that Defoe put into The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe–his interests in travel, economics, religion, and the experience of solitude–and putting them into an attractive format….This will be a useful and indeed an exciting text for students at all levels.”–Maximillian E. Novak, University of California at Los Angeles
