Daniel Defoe and his novel "Robinson Crusoe"
Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" (1719) is the first truenovel. It demands special and deep study. To study the novel we should commencewith our thoughts about English enlightenment. As one of the prominent literaryfigure of the XVIII century England Daniel Defoe is the founder of the Europeanrealistic novel of the new time. This book is rightly included to the circle ofthe beloved works of the children, so its educational significance should beunderlined especially. We have to use the history of English enlighteners inconnection with Defoe's literary activity. we may mention that the EnglishEnlightenment is closely connected with the German Enlightenment use may matchmainly the ideas of Enlightenment in Goethe's work. Daniel Defoe was the son ofhis time, and of his class, it means that he expressed the ideas of theexisting classes. He may be described as a bearer of the world view of thetheir progressive people's ideas.
The work of the earlier novelists of the eighteenth centuryhas a drive and coherence from their excitements realizing congenialpossibilities of the new species of writing. They were pioneers in the novelsof Defoe, H. Fielding and Sterna the tastes and sensibility of their authorsare everywhere pelted.
Defoe and Richardson are the first great writers in theEnglish literature, in this they differ from Jeffrey, Chancer, Edmund, Spencer,William Shakespeare and John Milton.
The history of Robinson's life on the island is a story aboutcreative work of a man, about his courage, his will, creative searching. Thisis a hymn to labor the source of life. Thanks to his creative work RobinsonCrusoe remained a man. This is most remarkable and educative significance of thenovel. The novel joined the elements of biographical documentary and adventurenovel. The theme of creative labor should be emphasized especially Labor helpedRobinson to stay a man in inhuman conditions of his life many years lonely inan island. There are very few selected books which can complete with this worldknown novel.
Daniel Defoe is not only the author of "Robinson Crusoe" heis the author of, as his researchers consider, about four hundred separatelypublished works, polemic and publicist articles, pamphlets and so on. Which hadbeen published by him in different editions. Creative energy of Defoe wasextraordinary and almost unique for his country and his time, his people.
Daniel Defoe had various hardships but he could fight forsurvival with astonishing steadfastness staunchness. Defoe could become one offirst English professional journalists, editors of influential politicalnewspapers and even private secret of very high ranking persons. Very importantPerson (Vips) of the government. But in a situation of complex and severesocial and political fight he could not fairly well to do and even quiteexisting for himself. Political Discords strafes pains (нізо, шіфок,) and court intrigues brought him to the prison and to aPillory. But in spite of all these. Defoe continued to write and publish books,booklets, and articles about everything which seemed to him worth of informinghis contemporaries.
During more than three years Defoe openly, anonymously andunder other pennames published pamphlets on very sharp political andinternational problems. He also wrote philosophical and law treatises,economical works, hand books, guides, manuals (йул - йурік дастурланаллар, кулланмалар) for traders, advices forthose who were going to get married, all kinds of advices how to behave oneselfin the society a poem about painting, general history of handicraft trades, andso on and so forth. Daniel Defoe used to say that he was thirty times rich andpoor.
The huge library of written and used by him works wonder usnot only with their great member, but also with quantity of names, as well aswith their belongings to different fields of life and knowledge, which hiscreative curious thoughts and ideas none of those works were published underhis own name.
Defoe published them giving the authorship to the heroes,Rescuing his books for real manuscripts or diaries, written in the name of thefirst person. These were the writings of sailors and merchants, thieves andcourt intricate plotters and all types of adventurers. This feat was the reasonfor not considering Daniel Defoe as their author, even two centuries later.
The works of fiction, newer appear abruptly. Most of them areclosely connected with the time of their creation, so this is true concerning"Robinson Crusoe" as well.
