Description

Since the sequel raises important questions about the quality of Crusoe's religious state in the first novel, it is surprising that critics have largely ignored Farther Adventures, which includes a description of Crusoe's return to the island and his travels in the Far East. (5) Even though recent critics such as Robert Markley and Hans Turley have helped redirect critical attention to Defoe's sequels, Crusoe's interest in religious charity remains largely unconsidered. (6) The initial commercial success of Farther Adventures is comparable to that of Robinson Crusoe, suggesting that the sequel shaped how many members of Defoe's earliest audience interpreted the earlier work, and that its representation of religious identity merits greater attention. (7) Defoe's positive portrayal of Catholicism in the delineation of the French priest becomes explicable in its broader European religious context, when the French Catholic clergy and the Vatican debated the anti-Jansenist papal bull Unigenitus Deli Filius (1713). The French Catholic clergy's support of Jansenism suggested to many Protestants the possibility of a broader Christian unity that could include both Protestants and Catholics and end denominational hostilities. An emphasis on religious charity causes Crusoe in Farther Adventures to reflect on God as a deity that values mercy over justice and punishment. In undermining the habitual identification of Crusoe with Protestant spirituality. Farther Adventures simultaneously explores the contradictory impulses toward charity and hostility at a time of special historical relevance to the British nation.
