Rousseau, in Emile, had recognized the value of Robinson Crusoe since it emphasized the need for the practical as opposed to the decorative. Those who turn to Robinson Crusoe in the wake of Rousseau's recommendation, however, are likely to be disappointed if they hope to discern in it an educational treatise of any import. Yet throughout his writing Defoe displays a sound appreciation of the value of education itself and of the importance of moral training in the early years. It is the purpose of this book to determine the nature and assess the value of Defoe's contribution to education.
