Abstract
The 2019 tricentenary of the publication of The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner (and of its sequel, The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe) has understandably seen renewed interest in Defoe’s most famous literary creation. As has often been noted, it is hard to overstate the extent of Robinson Crusoe’s cultural impact; so embedded in the popular psyche are aspects of the story that the image of a person on a desert island, or of a footprint in the sand, universally evokes it. Two recent volumes of essays from Bucknell University Press offer convincing reminders of Crusoe’s remarkable, transmedial legacy and continued cultural relevance.
《重写鲁滨逊:跨越语言、文化和媒体的鲁滨逊之旅》(Jakub Lipski主编)和《300年后的鲁滨逊漂流记》(Andreas K. E. Mueller和Glynis Ridley主编)(书评)
2019年,《鲁滨逊漂流记》(The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe,of York,Mariner)及其续集《鲁滨逊漂流记》出版300周年,人们对笛福最著名的文学创作重新产生了兴趣,这是可以理解的。正如人们经常注意到的那样,《鲁滨逊漂流记》的文化影响程度怎么强调都不为过;故事的各个方面深深植根于大众的心理,以至于一个人在荒岛上的形象,或一个在沙子上的脚印,都能让人普遍联想到它。巴克内尔大学出版社最近出版的两卷文章令人信服地提醒人们克鲁索非凡的跨文化遗产和持续的文化相关性。
