Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) is known to many only by his first novel, "Robinson Crusoe", astonishingly written as he approached his sixtieth year. Acknowledged as the first of English novelists, he has ...also been awarded accolades for being the 'Father of Journalism', the most successful spy in British history, the precursor to contemporary depth psychologists, the most daring of early feminists, the most devious of confidence tricksters and fraudulent entrepreneurs, the unsurpassed travelogue presenter, the first spin-doctor and speech-writer to a king. Hurling his defiances against the Established Church and Roman Catholicism, he was also the intrepid upholder of dissenting beliefs.The author deploys his forensic skills as a distinguished criminal lawyer and reforming parliamentarian to present an intriguing and novel Freudian overview of all Defoe's major works.
This paper searches to confront the main characters of the book Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, and the users of the justice system, based on the dilemmas and impositions of the Pandemic of ...Covid-19, which plagues the whole world. The particularities of the characters Robinson Crusoe and Friday, in view of the need to constantly adapt to new ways of life, were the argument for contextualization, already felt, with the differences between the usual litigants and eventual litigants in the access to justice. The relationship between law and literature, in this case, sought to shed light on aspects related to the need to readjust different litigants for full access to justice, considering the impacts of Pandemic on jurisdictional activity. The scientific method used in the research was the inductive one, by the analysis of the particularities of the characters and the different litigants, as true premises, to determine the different ways of readjusting to the new realities for each one, and what is the impact of these differences on access to justice. So, it was possible to demonstrate that important differences persist between the different litigants in the new jurisdictional reality, urging the adoption of measures that reduce the disparity.

Defoe's Writings and Manliness is a timely intervention in Defoe studies and in the study of masculinity in eighteenth-century literature more generally. Arguing that Defoe's writings insistently ...returned to the issues of manliness and its contrary, effeminacy, this book reveals how he drew upon a complex and diverse range of discourses through which masculinity was discussed in the period. It is for this reason that this book crosses over and moves between modern paradigms for the analysis of eighteenth-century masculinity to assess Defoe's men. A combination of Defoe's clarity of vision, a spirit of contrariness and a streak of moral didacticism resulted in an idiosyncratic and restless testing of the forces surrounding his period's ideas of manliness. Defoe's men are men, but they are never unproblematically so: they display a contrariness which indicates that a failure of manliness is never very far away.
This Element studies eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century instances of transmediation, concentrating on how the same illustrations were adapted for new media and how they generated novel media ...constellations and meanings for these images. Focusing on the 'content' of the illustrations and its adaptation within the framework of a new medium, case studies examine the use across different media of illustrations (comprehending both the designs for book illustrations and furniture prints) of three eighteenth-century works: Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719), Thomson's The Seasons (1730) and Richardson's Pamela (1740). These case studies reveal how visually enhanced material culture not only makes present the literary work, including its characters and story-world. But they also demonstrate how, through processes of transmediation, changes are introduced to the illustration that affect comprehension of that work.
