Abstract/Summary

This article offers a comprehensive analysis of Daniel Defoe's engagement with seventeenth-century theories of sovereignty in his first and best known novel, Robinson Crusoe. It interprets the text's verbal echoes of major political theorists including Filmer, Hobbes and Locke in ways that illuminate the development of the early novel in general, as well as Defoe's text in particular.
