초록

This essay intervenes in and complicates the discussion that a distinguishing aspect of Daniel Defoe’s novels lies in their trenchant grasp of modern individualism by reading Roxana. Defoe’s conception and representation of modern individualism in Roxana are not fully explicated by what has been considered the hallmark of his individualism, that is, economic individualism and Protestant interiority. The eponymous heroine of Roxana is, like most hero/ines of Defoe’s other novels, a survivor of adversities and deprivations through her own resources and personal capacity; she seeks to be an autonomous and independent self regardless of the external environments. Yet while Roxana’s hard-acquired autonomy, which is initially predicated on her willful determination to be apart from morality, empowers and enables her to pursue a higher ambition, it also turns out to involve some necessary anxiety, guilty feelings, or self-alienation as the story goes on. The last part of the novel, in which Roxana’s name-sake daughter Susan haunts her and tries to reveal her identity as Roxana, stands as a compelling vignette that shows the nightmarish, repetitive, and unconscious underside of the enlightenment of modern individualism. Defoe’s last novel, the last Susan scene in particular, allows us to see that Defoe’s vision of modern individualism might be much more complex, ambiguous and ambivalent than is usually conceived.

Abstract

This essay intervenes in and complicates the discussion that a distinguishing aspect of Daniel Defoe’s novels lies in their trenchant grasp of modern individualism by reading Roxana. Defoe’s conception and representation of modern individualism in Roxana are not fully explicated by what has been considered the hallmark of his individualism, that is, economic individualism and Protestant interiority. The eponymous heroine of Roxana is, like most hero/ines of Defoe’s other novels, a survivor of adversities and deprivations through her own resources and personal capacity; she seeks to be an autonomous and independent self regardless of the external environments. Yet while Roxana’s hard-acquired autonomy, which is initially predicated on her willful determination to be apart from morality, empowers and enables her to pursue a higher ambition, it also turns out to involve some necessary anxiety, guilty feelings, or self-alienation as the story goes on. The last part of the novel, in which Roxana’s name-sake daughter Susan haunts her and tries to reveal her identity as Roxana, stands as a compelling vignette that shows the nightmarish, repetitive, and unconscious underside of the enlightenment of modern individualism. Defoe’s last novel, the last Susan scene in particular, allows us to see that Defoe’s vision of modern individualism might be much more complex, ambiguous and ambivalent than is usually conceived.
