Il racconto scurrile di Daniel Defoe sulla lotta di una donna per l'indipendenza e la redenzione, Moll Flanders, è stato curato con un'introduzione e note di David Blewett da Penguin Classics. Nata nella prigione di Newgate e abbandonata sei mesi dopo, la determinazione di Moll Flanders nel trovare e mantenere un posto sicuro nella società la spinge attraverso incesto, adulterio, bigamia, prostituzione e una brillante carriera come ladra ('la più grande artista del mio tempo') prima che i suoi crimini la raggiungano e venga trasportata nella colonia della Virginia nel Nuovo Mondo. Se Moll Flanders è a un certo livello il racconto di peccato e pentimento di un puritano, attraverso Moll self-made e autosufficiente, il ricco sottotesto di Daniel Defoe trasmette tutti i paradossi e le amoralità della lotta per la proprietà e il potere nella nuova società individualistica dell'Inghilterra del diciottesimo secolo. Basato sulla prima edizione del 1722, questo volume include una cronologia, suggerimenti per ulteriori letture, note sulla valuta e mappe di Londra e della Virginia alla fine del diciassettesimo secolo. Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) ebbe una varietà di carriere tra cui mercante, soldato, spia e autore di opuscoli politici. Nel corso della sua vita Daniel Defoe scrisse oltre duecentocinquanta libri di economia, storia, biografia e criminalità, ma è meglio ricordato per la narrativa che produsse in tarda età, che include Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1722) e Roxana (1724). Defoe ebbe una grande influenza sullo sviluppo del romanzo inglese e molti lo considerano il primo vero romanziere. Se ti è piaciuto Moll Flanders, potresti apprezzare Pamela di Samuel Richardson, disponibile anche presso Penguin Classics.
Informazioni sull?autore:
Daniel Defoe was born Daniel Foe in London in 1660. It was perhaps ineveitable that Defoe, an outspoken man, would become a political journalist. As a Puritan he believed God had given him a mission to print the truth, that is, to proselytize on religion and politics, and he became a prolific pamphleteer satirizing the hypocrisies of both Church and State. Defoe admired William III, and his poemThe True-Born Englishman (1701) won him the King's friendship. But an ill-timed satire on High Church extremists, The Shortest Way with the Dissenters, published during Queen Anne's reign, resulted in his being pilloried and imprisoned for seditious libel in 1703.
At fifty-nine Defoe turned to fiction, completing The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe(1719), partly based on the saga of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor; Moll Flanders (1722); Colonel Jack (1722);A Journal of the Plague Years (1722); and Roxana or the Fortunate Mistress (1724).

Condizione: Poor. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Beschriftungen / Markierungen. Born in Newgate prison and abandoned six months later, Moll's drive to find and hold on to a secure place in society propels her through incest, adultery, bigamy, prostitution and a resourceful career as a thief ('the greatest Artist of my time') before she is apprehended and returned to Newgate. If Moll Flanders is on one level a Puritan's tale of sin and repentance, through self-made, self-reliant Moll its rich subtext conveys all the paradoxes and amoralities of the struggle for property and power in Defoe's newly individualistic society.
