The 19th Century Children's Adventure Novel Book Summary

This paper is on the theme and the motif of treasure in Robert Louis Stevenson's (1850-1894) "Treasure Island", and Edith Nesbit's (1858-1924) work of children's literature titled "The Story of The Treasure Seekers", a work that was originally published at the turn of the century, or in 1899. It will be argued in fairly blunt terms, that both of the works in question can be seen or understood as nothing more than 'forms' or examples of capitalist legitimation. These are works that reinforce the values and the ideas of capitalism, and this is precisely how the theme of 'treasure' will be presented and examined.
