Myths of Modern Individualism: Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Robinson Crusoe (Canto original series) Book

In this volume, Ian Watt examines the myths of Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan and Robinson Crusoe, as the distinctive products of modern society.

They all pursue their own view of what they should be, raising strong questions about their heroes' character and the societies whose ideals they reflect.Read More
