Ahead of its time in more ways than one, Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders – aka The Fortunes & Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders – is the tale of a skilful young woman navigating the hurdles of life in 18th-century England and America. For a working-class woman in the 1700’s, life is no picnic. But Moll is a survivor and will do whatever it takes to get by – lie, cheat, steal. As conflicts and obstacles keep coming her way, Moll Flanders must cleverly work her way through them and come out stronger each time.
