Annotation

The sequel to the much better known 1719 Defoe, The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. This volume begins, after some adventures at sea, with a return to Crusoe’s island and the experiences of the people he had left there. There are conflicts with the natives from a neighboring island and many trials and tribulations, but the settlement is generally presented positively. The rest of the work is primarily adventure in various voyages. A third volume was published. See also Serious Reflections During the Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe: With His Vision of the Angelick World. Written by Himself. London: Ptd. for W. Taylor, 1720.

It is not a utopia, but Defoe says it lays out the moral basis of the first two volumes.
