THE SLAVERY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRIDAY AND ROBINSON CRUSOE AFTER ROBINSON CRUSOE BY D. DEFOE: AN ESSAY

Daniel Defoe (1659—1731) was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer, and spy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to is considered the founder of the new English novel [1]. He published his famous novel “Robinson Crusoe” in 1719. At the beginning it had a long title “The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner” [ibid] as it used to be typical for the Enlightenment literary works. It is considered to be a novel. The story is widely perceived to have been influenced by the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived during four years on the Pacific island called “Mas a Tierra”
