One of the earliest social novels in English, Moll Flanders features one of the most lively, convincing, and delightful rogues in literature. From her birth in Newgate Prison where her mother is under the sentence of death for theft, to her final position of wealth, Moll Flanders demonstrates a spirit of industry and an indomitable will. She appraises theft, prostitution, and bigamy only in terms of their profit potential, for she is propelled by an unrelenting drive to overcome her background of impoverishment. Praised by Virginia Woolfe as one of the "few English novels which we can call indisputably great," Moll Flanders is a work of genius that represents an important step in the evolution of the novel. |
