The paper examines the English adventure fiction Robinson Crusoe against the background of the Enclosure Movement. Historically, “enclosure” or “inclosure” has been a practical approach in the European agricultural revolution between the twelfth century and the nineteenth century. However, the process of enclosure is not merely within land ownership. Instead, it has a far-reaching impact on various domains. In Daniel Defoe’s literal work Robinson Crusoe, the element with its metaphorical denotation plays a vital part in depicting the male protagonist’s mental states and physical behaviours. Thus, the current project explores Defoe’s point of view on the power of enclosure. In the novel, what Crusoe refers to as an enclosure is beyond the ontological meaning of the Movement. The essay claims that the move to metonymically include places and people into his world is not a signal of accepting and assimilating them as those of his group but a procedure to abstract and alienate them from either Crusoe’s or their scopes. The article adopts the corpus linguistics method and conventional text analysis in the discussion. The research tends to provide a fresh perspective on understanding Defoe’s political vision as well as the later Enclosure Movement.
