In what sense is Robinson Crusoe a spiritual autobiography?
Robinson Crusoe is backdating a pattern on to his own life that is derived from spiritual autobiography, although he never reveals any particular reading of his own in this area. The archetypal pattern does suggest that he is well versed in the nonconformist literature, however, and able to apply it to his own life.
