Born in Newgate Prison, she was for twelve years a whore, five times a wife (once to her own brother), twelve years a thief, and eight years a transported felon in Virginia before finally escaping from the life of immorality and wickedness imposed on her by society. She is as much a survivor and just as resourceful as Defoe's other great literary creation, Robinson Crusoe. Celebrated as "a masterpiece of characterization" by E. M. Forster, Moll Flanders is both a cunning examination of social mores and a hugely entertaining story filled with scandalous sexual and criminal adventures. In Moll, Defoe created a character of limitless interest, in spite of her unconcealed ethical shortcomings. Taking Moll through the echelons of eighteenth-century English society, Defoe seldom moralizes as he champions the personal qualities of self-reliance, perseverance, and hard work---even when it takes the form of crime. 500 $a Includes companion eBook: Automatic start-up with full instructions; Easy keyword navigation and search; PDF format, printable, eReader friendly; Includes searchable table of contents. 650 0 $a Children of prisoners $v Fiction. 650 0 $a British $z Virginia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z England $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prostitutes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Repentance $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Criminals $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Virginia $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Porter, Davina. 830 0 $a Tantor unabridged classics. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808024306.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=072262F438FF11E1860E2D9F6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b LVYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
