description: This study contends that the main characters in Defoe's six major fictions represent a more profound anxiety and cynicism regarding the human condition than has been generally recognized. From Robinson Crusoe to Roxana--each is engaged in a lonely and futile search for identity and significance, and each pursues that goal with ruthless singlemindedness.
