“I have heard, that the envious and ill-disposed part of the World have rais’d some Objections against the two first Volumes, on Pretence, for want of a better reason; That (as they say) the Story is feigned, that the Names are borrow’d, and that it is all a Romance; […] I, Robinson Crusoe being at this Time in perfect and sound Mind and Memory, Thanks be to God therefore; do hereby declare, their Objection is an Invention scandalous in Design, and false in Fact; and do affirm, that the Story, though Allegorical, is also Historical; and that it is the beautiful Representation of a Life of unexempled Misfortunes, and of a Variety not to be met with in the World, sincerely adapted to, and intended for the common Good of Mankind, and designed at first, as it is now farther apply’d, to the most serious Uses possible.” Coment this extract, trying to explain how Defoe justifies his text in funtion of the anterior narrative tradition, at the same time that his work is a inovation of the genre.
