«Moll Flanders» is the novel by Daniel Defoe, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Moll, born in Newgate Prison, must make her way in eighteenth-century England. Between marriages of convenience, deceptions and transgressions, her story is one of the first great female portraits in the English novel: a calculating and lucid voice that alternates confession, social criticism and reflection on survival and morality.
The work was originally published in 1722 under the title The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders.
For readers of classics and eighteenth-century English fiction, as well as for those who want to discover the origins of the modern novel.
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.
