Description

Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders is 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, Moll learns to live off her wits, defying traditional depictions of women as helpless victims. First published in 1722, this novel remains a powerful account of opportunism, endurance, and survival, speaking strongly to readers today as it did to its original audience. A new edition of this English language novel offers a critically edited text, accompanied by a comprehensive introduction, notes, and additional features such as a glossary, a note on money, and maps of England, London, and the American colonies. This edition provides a wealth of valuable features, including expert guidance and up-to-date resources, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking to understand the social and cultural issues examined in the novel.
