- W3138045272 abstract "The Arctic was one of the last “wild” landscapes left in the early nineteenth century. It remained an inhospitable environment, largely resisting human attempts at conquest and cultivation. The chapter is an examination of the Scottish writer James Hogg’s novella The Surpassing Adventures of Allan Gordon (1837), a story modelled loosely on Daniel Defoe’s The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe . But whereas Crusoe manages to utilize natural resources and prosper from them, Hogg’s story about a castaway is a dark satire of nature pushing back. Hogg posits the Arctic as a sublime but also unwieldy world that frustrates nineteenth-century optimism that northern latitudes could be conquered and brought under human control. The Surpassing Adventures of Allan Gordon is ultimately a story about the European subject being wrenched from itself in the encounter with the “wild.”" @default.
