fiction, narration, Robinson CrusoeAbstract
This article analyzes the narrative devices that characterize the plot of Robinson Crusoe, a novel published in 1719 and considered one of the founding texts of modern fiction. The examination of the strategies of authorship dissimulation, which considers the 18th century reception of the three works related to the character, allows to investigate the relations between narration and fictionality in the texts written by Daniel Defoe. The analysis of these constitutive elements of the novel as a literary genre related to books suggests a history of literature interested in the effects produced by editorial devices and in the different strategies of meaning attribution enhanced by the broadening of the scope of criticism from the 18th century on.
