The preface argues the moral is drawn from the narrative, not imposed on it, and responds to objections that the story is invented or the names borrowed. It asserts the account is both allegorical and historical, intended for the common good and for serious uses possible.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/serious-reflections-during-the-life-and-surprising-adventures-of-robinson-crusoe-preface/510234/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/serious-reflections-during-the-life-and-surprising-adventures-of-robinson-crusoe-preface/510234.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Indoniesian
