A story of the irrepressible, redoubtable Moll Flanders, a Seventeenth Century woman, born in prison to a condemned thief, who, by hook or by crook, manages to survive as a wife, a prostitute, a thief, and finally, finds her way back to the infamous Newgate prison in London, where she is then reduced from a certain trip to the gallows. Her story, though fiction, exposes the cruel hypocrisy behind class and sex that ruled the world then, as it often does now. Bold, infamous, notorious--Moll Flanders is one of the greatest literary classics of the English language ever written.

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) was an English novelist and poet as well as a soldier, merchant, newspaper publisher, pamphleteer, gambler, spy, revolutionary, and social reformist. Pilloried and jailed for his satirical work, he is best known for Robinson Crusoe, the immensely popular, fictionalized account of a shipwrecked sailor that has inspired countless retellings. Among many other publications his best-known books are Moll Flanders, Colonel Jack, and Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress. He is considered by many to be the first true English novelist and had tremendous influence on the development of the form.
