Offering a full examination of Defoe's years as a political reporter and journalist (1689-1715), it recovers his traditional, conservative and anti-Lockean ideas on contemporary issues: the origins of society, the role of the people in the establishment of a political society and how monarchies are created and maintained as the means of achieving a beneficent political order. At the heart of Defoe's political imagination, Manuel Schonhorn finds the vision of a warrior-king, derived from sources in the Bible and in ancient and English history. This model illuminates his original reading of Defoe's greatest political fiction, Robinson Crusoe, which emerges less in terms of a family romance, a tract for the rising bourgeoisie or a Lockean parable of government, than as a dramatic re-enactment of Defoe's lifelong political preoccupations concerning society, government and kingship. 410 0$aCambridge studies in eighteenth-century English literature and thought ;$v9. 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitical fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1660-1714 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823.5 700 $aSchonhorn$b Manuel$0243254 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248191803316 996 $aDefoe's politics$9971056 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
