«Moll Flanders» is Daniel Defoe's picaresque novel, published in 2010 by Harperpress in paperback (336 pages, in English).
The novel follows Moll from her birth in Newgate prison and her abandonment in infancy to her determination to make her way in eighteenth-century England. Between marriages of convenience, deceit, bigamy, prostitution and theft, her unflinching voice turns her journey into a social satire on morality, good and evil.
Moll Flanders was originally published in 1722 under the title «The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the famous Moll Flanders»; this edition belongs to the Collins Classics collection.
Aimed at readers of English classics and eighteenth-century satirical fiction.
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, journalist, merchant and spy. He is famous for his novels Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724). He has been seen as one of the earliest proponents of the English novel, and helped to popularise the form in Britain with others such as Aphra Behn and Samuel Richardson.
