Although this is of course not the first in-depth study of the castaway tale, Palmer (emer., La Trobe Univ., Melbourne, Australia) has produced a clever, insightful taxonomy of the (sub)genre's development. Palmer expands, synthesizes, and deepens the critical discussion of literary castaway tales (he consciously avoids film and television) by thoughtfully examining a host of mostly 20th- and 21 st-century primary sources that have received only minimal critical coverage in this context.LanguageEnglish.
