Rigilano's article from Pennsylvania State University delves into Daniel Defoe's work, Mere Nature Delineated, focusing on the relationship between body and soul and the philosophical implications of a soulless body. The discussion of the "Finger of God" as the origin and end of writing reveals a complex interplay between literal and metaphorical elements, emphasizing the divine inscription's emptiness and opacity. The essay explores Defoe's writing style and thematic elements, referencing scholars like Ian Watt, J. Paul Hunter, and Michael McKeon, while also examining the semiotic crisis of the eighteenth century and the intersection of natural and supernatural elements in Defoe's occult texts. Additionally, the text delves into Lacanian theory, political discourse, and the concept of subjectivity in literature. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eighteenth Century: Theory & Interpretation is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
