'Twelve Year a Whore, fives times a Wife (whereof once to her own
Brother), Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon in
Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv'd Honest, and died a Penitent' So
the title page of this extraordinary novel describes the career of
the woman known as Moll Flanders, whose real name we never
discover. And so, in a tour-de-force of writing by the businessman,
political satirist, and spy Daniel Defoe, Moll tells her own story,
a vivid and racy tale of a woman's experience in the seamy side of
life in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England and
America. Born in Newgate prison, and seduced in the home of her
adoptive family, she learns to live off her wits, defying the
traditional depiction of women as helpless victims. First published
in 1722, and one of the earliest novels in the English language,
its account of opportunism, endurance, and survival speaks as
strongly to us today as it did to its original readers. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
