Description

Born in Newgate Prison, Moll Flanders narrates her own scramble for security through marriages, theft, and a Virginia plantation. Defoe’s novel, unabridged in English, keeps the voice close and episodic: prosperity and the gallows in the same breath, an incestuous marriage found too late, transportation that turns into fortune, a late penitence that still reckons the plate. First-person England of 1722 — wit under pressure, identity as a career in surviving men and the law.
