Moll Flanders | Daniel Defoe (€9.95)

Annotated Edition (Alma Classics Evergreens)

Born in Newgate Prison to an incarcerated mother, Moll Flanders is compelled from earliest childhood to make her own way in the world and to live off her wit and beauty. Her desire to climb the rungs of society leads her through a tangled web of incest, adultery, prostitution, deception and theft, before she is eventually transported to the New World for her crimes. Presented as Moll"s autobiography, and published anonymously, the novel, through its self-made protagonist, highlights the intricacies and double standards of Moll"s contemporary society, and offers an irresistible and evocative insight into both the drawing rooms and seedy back alleys of seventeenth-century England. This new edition is here presented with notes and extra material.
