1. Why is Robinson Crusoe accepted as the First authentic Novel ?• 18th century : a period of

tremendous vitality, for the modern novel made its real beginning in that period.

• In the early part of this century, the growing interest in character and life was clearly evidenced by some works.

• Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, often credited with being the first real novel, is largely an adventure story.

Robinson Crusoe, the title

character, discusses his life at home with his father, who pleads with him not to leave home and England

• In this work, the stress is laid not on adventure for adventure’s sake, but on the characters in all their realistic struggles and reactions.

• Because it is extraordinarily faithful to real life and reflects the morals of the middle class of Defoe’s day, it marks an advance from the idealism of the romance toward the realism of the modern novel.

• It was to become the literary form most responsive to middle-class needs and interests.
