About the book

Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders follows the extraordinary life of a woman determined to survive in the difficult social world of eighteenth-century England. Born in Newgate Prison, Moll experiences poverty, marriage, widowhood, crime and changing fortune as she repeatedly attempts to secure financial independence. Practical, intelligent and morally complicated, Moll is one of the most memorable characters in early English fiction. Defoe uses her adventures to explore poverty, class, marriage, criminality and the limited choices available to women, creating a vivid portrait of both individual survival and the society in which she lives.
