"The Rival Crusoes; Or, The Shipwreck" by Agnes Strickland is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around two young men, Lord Robert Summers and Philip Harley, who find themselves in a bitter rivalry that escalates into personal conflict. As they navigate their feelings of anger and resentment, they are ultimately thrown together into a desperate situation where survival becomes paramount. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lord Robert, a haughty nobleman, and Philip, a lower-class youth who faces the consequences of their tumultuous relationship. After several violent encounters, Robert ends up sailing on a ship commanded by his uncle, which soon faces a significant storm leading to a disaster at sea. As the ship founders, both young men find themselves marooned on a deserted island, presenting them with the harsh realities of survival. The opening establishes their contrasting backgrounds, personal grievances, and sets the stage for their eventual confrontation and potential for introspection amidst their shared plight.
