Summary
"Examining important works of English literature through the lens of anthropology's revised narrative of the Agricultural Trap, considers whether central aspects of The Tempest, Robinson Crusoe, Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Heart of Darkness, and the novels of Coetzee can be reinterpreted as expressions of anxiety about the supposedly obvious superiority of farming and tilling over foraging and gathering"-- Provided by publisher.
