This work gave rise to a whole sub-genre of works dealing with a castaway on an isolated island, the most famous of which is The Swiss Family Robinson (1812-1827) by Johann [Rudolf] Wyss (1781-1830) that appeared in hundreds of versions. Possible to treat it and the sub-genre as eutopias of solitude. See also 1719 Defoe. The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe which is much more clearly a utopia in that more people are involved.
