Born in Newgate Prison, Moll navigates a dizzying life of crime, shifting fortunes, and multiple marriages, including an inadvertent incestuous union, before her eventual transport to Virginia and final, dubious redemption. Defoe’s pioneering novel remains a masterpiece of the picaresque, offering a sharp, unsentimental portrait of a woman who defies the societal constraints of her time by any means necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54161635869011,"sku":"4413","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260623_121405.jpg?v=1782977526","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/moll-flanders-daniel-defoe-reset-edition-3rd-impression","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
