robinsonade
Robinsonade is a literary genre that takes its name from the 1719 novel ''Robinson Crusoe'' by Daniel Defoe. The success of this novel spawned so many imitations that its name was used to define a genre, which is sometimes described simply as a "desert island story".〔''Steampunk'' anthology, 2008, ed. Ann VanderMeer & Jeff VanderMeer, ISBN 978-1-892391-75-9〕
The word "robinsonade" was coined by the German writer Johann Gottfried Schnabel in the Preface of his 1731 work ''Die Insel Felsenburg'' (''The Island Stronghold'').〔 ''Die Insel Felsenburg'', 1731, Johann Gottfried Schnabel〕 It is often viewed as a subgenre of survivalist fiction.
==Literary form==
''Robinson Crusoe'' and "robinsonades" share plot elements with William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest'', but the story emphasis and story message are markedly different.
''Robinson Crusoe'' was influential in creating a colonialization mythology—as novelist James Joyce eloquently noted the true symbol of the British conquest is Robinson Crusoe: "He is the true prototype of the British colonist…". Later works expanded on and explored this mythology.
