Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders details the life of the irresistible Moll and her struggles through poverty and sin in search of property and power. Born in Newgate Prison, Moll propels herself through marriages, periods of success and destitution, and a trip to the New World and back, only to return to the place of her birth as a popular prostitute and brilliant thief. The story of Moll Flanders vividly illustrates Defoe's themes of social mobility and predestination, sin, redemption, and reward.

About the Author: Daniel Defoe's, (1660-1731) satirical writings brought him into frequent conflict with the authorities; the official outrage resulting from his pamphlet, The Shortest Way with Dissenters, had him fined, imprisoned, and pilloried. Defoe's most famous works are Robinson Crusoe (1719) and Moll Flanders (1722).
