| Tartalmi kivonat: | This thesis examines the historical, social, economic and religious changes which led to the formation of the early capitalist society in England in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. I will prove that a new type of hero - the so-called "Homo economicus" or "economic man" - appeared in Daniel Defoe's novels. Using the works of significant critics of this topic, I will demonstrate how Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders could become the archetypes of "Homo economicus". |
