Moll Flanders - British Heritage Database Reader-Printable Edition with Study Materials

ebook
The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders is a major landmark in the history of the novel, combining circumstantial realism with a rags-to-riches plot and an audacious and inventive heroine whose fictional autobiography is irresistibly frank, ironic and convincing. Daniel Defoe’s masterpiece evokes not only Moll’s engaging personality but also the era whose values – enterprise, self-interest and materialism – she epitomises. The text is edited by Dr Katherine Armstrong with plot summary, critical introduction and hyperlinked explanatory notes. It is based on the first edition, published in 1722, and preserves the full character of the original. As the first edition has no chapter divisions, each paragraph has been discreetly numbered to assist reader navigation; substantive amendments are recorded in the notes. This edition may be printed for personal use.
