Moll Flanders

About this book

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.
