Abstract

The novel Robinson Crusoe (1719) by Daniel Defoe has made an impact on the world literature. One of the effects of this novel on posterity is to create a source of inspiration about the type of desert island story for junior writers. In the field of European-American literary studies, "Robinsonade" is a term used to refer to works similar in structure to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. In Vietnam, the term is still little known and not widely introduced. In this article, within our limits, we introduce Robinsonade as a theoretical and historical concept of literature.
Keywords: comparative literature, Daniel Defoe, desert island story, Robinsonade, Robinson Crusoe
