讲座摘要:

How was Robinson Crusoe read in the year 1722? This presentation seeks to answer this question at least in part by recovering how historical readers encountered Daniel Defoe’s novel in the form of an affordable abridgment that was issued that year by the London bookseller, E. Midwinter. Midwinter’s edition offered a version of the work that in material respects differed from the first-edition text published in 1719. Apart from being abridged, it boasted a large number of illustrative woodcuts – a much larger number of illustrations than had previously accompanied an edition ofRobinson Crusoe. These woodcuts offered an interpretive series of paratextual gateways to Defoe’s work that assisted readers not only in understanding the work as a whole but that also, through its profusion of illustrations, created a visual narrative with foci of its own. Building on earlier work of mine, specifically“Book Illustration and the Transnational Mediation ofRobinson Crusoein 1720” (Philological Quarterly, 2020),this presentation will centrally examine the woodcuts and their role in the reading history ofRobinson Crusoe. Given these woodcuts’ reprinting over several decades, their presence in readers’ minds and their impact cannot be doubted. Returning to the intermedial make-up of eighteenth-century illustrations of Defoe’s classic allows us a sophisticated historical understanding of the work as changeable, adaptable, and malleable, as a work frequently shaped through the medium of illustration.
