The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders - Daniel Defoe
KORTE INHOUD
?I grew as impudent a Thief, and as dexterous as ever Moll Cut-Purse was?
Born and abandoned in Newgate Prison, Moll Flanders is forced to make her own way in life. She duly embarks on a career that includes husband-hunting, incest, bigamy, prostitution and pick-pocketing, until her crimes eventually catch up with her. One of the earliest and most vivid female narrators in the history of the English novel, Moll recounts her adventures with irresistible wit and candour?and enough guile that the reader is left uncertain whether she is ultimately a redeemed sinner or a successful opportunist.
