Moll Flanders, published in 1722, was described by Virginia Woolf as 'one of the few English novels we can call indisputably great'. Moll, abandoned as a child, tells her own story – brought up as an orphan, she enters upon a succession of marriages (not all of them legal), bent upon economic survival in a world unsympathetic to the single woman of no fortune. Reduced to abject poverty after six years as a rich man's whore, she turns to crime, but is eventually caught and transported to Virginia.
The brilliance of Moll Flanders lies in its absolute honesty and realism: Defoe tells his tale with uncompromising directness and an extraordinary empathy with his heroine's plight. Moll's life is seen as much in terms of economics as emotions: we are constantly reminded of the precise worth of objects, of the exact state of her finances in pounds, shillings and pence; yet we cannot help rejoicing with her in her brief periods of calm prosperity, or pitying her when she is at last caught and carried to the horrors of Newgate and probable execution. We are compelled to see that Moll can only be judged in the context of her society – a harsh world of expanding economic activity and social aspiration. Moll regrets her immorality, yet confesses that a tale of repentance 'would not be equally diverting as the wicked part'; she repeats the wise man's prayer, 'Give me not poverty, lest I steal', and we are forced to acknowledge that society may be as much to blame as the individual who struggles to survive within it.
