18世纪是一个以启蒙理性主义为文化背景的特殊历史时期。在那个时期，大多数理性主义者受牛顿和洛克的影响，极力推崇经验主义的观察方法和科学的质疑态度，而非传统的宗教执念，笛福塑造的叙述者也不例外。笛福从对伦敦城的混乱描述着手颠覆理性主流话语。无情而残忍的造物主、失去理性的城民、自由被限制的个体无不体现了当时的无序状态。瘟疫中的英国，不再是井然有序的理性国度，更不是理想主义的完美体现。伦敦城被重新演绎成一个全然无序的非理性代名词。然而，从新历史主义的角度分析，笛福对理性的颠覆是控制在一定范围内的。工具理性、功利理性和新基督教徒的自我重塑是笛福对颠覆的抑制，也是笛福本身对理性主义的纠结。H.F.这个叙述者本身就带着理性主义者的行为特征。他游离于被瘟疫感染的街道，竭尽全力地从科学的角度解释瘟疫，并以一种无比复杂的心态来质疑上帝的合理性。除此之外，小说中极力刻画的英雄人物在一定程度上抑制了瘟疫的蔓延，却在其奋斗动机上大打折扣。笛福认为仅仅是为了赚取金钱和食物以求生存还够不上真正意义上的英雄行为。笛福和其“英雄人物”之间的认同差异，以及混乱社会和理性人群的矛盾，都无可厚iv非地给小说刷上了浓重的讽刺色调。直至小说最后，“英雄人物”通过各式各样的自我拯救实现了他们人文主义精神的自我重塑，这种认同差异得以消除。

作为笔调轻松、文笔优美、诙谐有趣的自然历史书籍之一，《贝格尔号航行日记》记述了查尔斯·达尔文于1831年至1836年间经南美洲、加拉帕戈斯群岛、澳洲重返英格兰的旅程，此次旅行加深了他对生物学的理解，丰富和发展了他的进化论观点。在达尔文的笔下，他的那些冒险经历，诸如火地岛遭遇“野人”、在巴塔哥尼亚偶食生禽，以及试图骑上晃晃悠悠的巴塔哥尼亚乌龟的努力都一一生动地跃然纸上，描绘得栩栩如生。
